Single-Leg Calf Raise

The single-leg calf raise is a calf raise for the calves, done with bodyweight only. It is trained one side at a time. On weyt.ai it counts toward Balance as Calves (minimum 4 sets per 30 days) and toward your 12-week strength trend, where each rep counts as 90% of your bodyweight plus whatever you add.

How weyt.ai scores it

  • Balance: every logged set counts toward the Calves group, which needs at least 4 sets per 30 days for full credit.
  • Strength: counts as a lift. Each rep counts as 90% of your bodyweight plus whatever you add, so it earns volume, a best lift estimate (an estimated one-rep max) and PR credit like a loaded lift.
  • Routine: any session that includes it counts toward your weekly target, the 4-week consistency window and your streak.

Scoring is plain arithmetic, not AI: the same sets always give the same result. Read the method on the about page.
