I just wanted to say I have been doing these for the last few months, and my calves have thickened tremendously. I had never really taken donkey calf raises seriously until I saw posts by bigpump23 and various other members highly recommending them. The two legged version is fine, but for me at least, the stress is much more intense doing these one leg at a time.
I do mine at home bent over with a weighted dip belt and Mr. Fatman(my nephew) on my back. I keep my free leg folded behind the knee of the other leg.And all I can say is WOW for these. Very effective exercise. I do these along with jumping calf raises, toes in/toes out calf raises, and toe raises for my tibialis anterior(front of calf), along with barbell calf raises on a calf block for overall mass and a better stretch.
