When I saw how much it cost to buy a calf block and how simple it would be to make your own calf block, I decided to save some money and build a wooden calf block. It was easy and fun to do, you should be able to follow what I did and make your own calf raise block in no time at all.
I made the wood calf raise block above out one single 2x4, which I cut into 4 pieces the exact same length.
I placed two of the boards in a vertical position parallel to each other.
I then placed another board horizontally in the center of those two boards and screwed them together, with 2 screws on each side.
Then to get a good calf stretch I placed the last board on top of the other horizontal board and screwed it down tight.
For my last step I put some non-slip safety strips on top.
My homemade calf block is very safe and sturdy, make you own and you will be happy you did.
