Jumping rope or as he says small jumps on your toes.
Infact Jumping squats are a forgotten exercise in todays bodybuilding.

I like the Dumbbell version but I used it with jumping rope to add variety in my calfs

Single leg squats off a bench are good for home training if no squat rack is at hand.
I did them holding onto the upright on the bench so I could concentrate better & hold a plate, obviously a weighted vest is better.
Some like to train the balancing aspect & stability as I did about '99 in physio after a knee OP.

one of the most simple exercises for calves & effective

[Donny]

A toes pointed Leg curl is another great calf exercise.
I like it before I do standing calf raises. Has a great pre-exhaust effect.

He catches most of the shit because of his vanity and his claim to being natural. He is strong as hell, no doubt. Cannot take that away from him.

Leaning back during a leg extension increases the stretch on the rectus femoris by opening the hip angle. This deeper stretch matters because stretch-mediated hypertrophy—growth triggered by training muscles at longer lengths—has been shown to be a powerful stimulus for muscle growth.

Definitely in my opinion beneficial
