dont have any calf machines--so can i do this?

[RandyRhoads]

stand with a bar on my shoulders (like you are about to squat) and just extend my calves as if i were to stand on my toes?

sure, just put your toes up on some plates or something. even easier way is to do it one-legged and hold a dumbell. OR the BEST way - find a hot woman and ask her to help you do donkey raises, she probably dont now what it is and will agree for sure

Yeah but if you're a powerlifter you're gonna have to bite the bullet and ask a fat chick on that one.

That looks like a replacement for the donkey calf press.

Here's what I do to get a fuller ROM...

I put the balls of my feet on 45lb plates and do my calf presses off of those.

For seated calf presses, you can wrap a towel around the bar and rest it on you lap, just above the knee.

For calfs I do high pulls.

You can do standing calf raises with a full range of motion on a smith machine of even better if you have the ballance freeweighted.
