Donkey calf raises I never really got down but I think you basically bend over and put your feet up on something like an edge of a platform while the rest of your body rests on a chair or something.. then you do a calf raise.. you can even have someone sit on you if you need more weight... kinda rough.. i'd stick with the calf raise on the end of a step idea...
