Donkey Raises

[SquatsRule]

Donkey calf raises hit my calves very well. I've been hanging plates off a belt and doing them that way since I don't have anybody to sit on my back. Raises on the leg press just don't feel the same. The only problem is when I use several plates I have to use a very wide stance. Anybody have any better ideas of how to do donkey raises without a machine or training partner?

I do calf raises on the leg press and I get phenomenal pumps when I do.  I go as heavy as possible but make sure I can move through the entire range of motion and emphasize the eccentric portion of the movement.
