It's true. Standing single leg is even better.

right this way

what's the best way to load standing single leg at home without a machine?
i tried putting a bar on my back but it felt kind of risky with higher weight
using a dip belt was ok a first but kind of awkward as the weight went up
can only hold so much in a dumbell, but that so far has felt the overall best
any advice?

Does that thing causes herniated disks?

Yes. This is how i fucked up my back. Not kidding. My left foot tingles when not lying down. Its been 10 years. Not worth it.

that sucks bro, but also, herniating a disc doing machine calf raises seems wildly anomalous, to the point where i'd disagree with your "not worth it" opinion for the general public. i get that the spine is under considerable load but it's also not moving so ???
i will say that for people who want to do something like standing calf raises without loading their spine, you can do leg press calf raises. you can also do single leg to reduce load instead
