Seated Calf Raise

1. 1

   Sit in the machine and set the pads right above your knees.

2. 2

   Put the balls of your feet on the edge of the platform with heels hanging free.

3. 3

   Release the safety and drop your heels as low as they will go.

4. 4

   Press up on your toes until the calves fully contract.

5. 5

   Pause at the top, lower slowly, and repeat without bouncing.

• Pads set too far from the knee so they slide as you press.

• Fast bouncy reps that use tendons instead of muscle.

• Moving the heels only a couple of centimetres.

• The seated version targets the soleus under the main calf muscle.

• Pair it with standing calf raises for complete calf development.
