Try squatting calf raises off a block.

Simply go into a full squat and do calf raises from that position. Hold on to something for balance.

i do standing smith machine calf raises, leg press calfraises as well. i saw this old school donkey calfraises but i've never done them. also you culd use a bench, place your feet on plates or blocks, and rest a bar across the knees to do an improvised version
