Place a bigger weight plate in front of the flat bench. Sit on the bench and place the balls of your feet on the weight plate and put the barbell on your upper thighs. Now, as you exhale, raise up your toes while squeezing your calves and hold for a second. Now, as you inhale, slowly return to the starting position while stretching your calves.
