Training the calves off a step is great since you get a full range of motion and a good stretch at the bottom. In case you don't have a step you can do calf raises on the floor. The downside is that most of the range of motion is missing. Now in order to compensate for the lower range of motion you can do a forward lean calf raise which will increase the range of motion. Lean to a wall and stretch the calves on the bottom position. Now press up and straighten the ankle and hold the top position for at least 1 second. Descend back down to the stretched position. A calf block or a step is a great tool. But I feel that I can get a better stretch and range of motion with the leaning calf raises. Calf training progression without a step Progression for calf raises is a bit different if we don’t use a step. But basically you just replace all the elevated calf raises with the stretched calf raise. 1.Floor two leg calf raise https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZdaBOrwCOg Stand next to a wall
