Seated Calf Raise
How to do it
- Sit at the machine with the balls of the feet on the platform and the pads resting just above the knees.
- Lower the heels below the platform edge until a full stretch is felt through the calves.
- Press through the balls of the feet to raise the heels as high as possible.
- Squeeze the calves hard at the top of the movement for a brief pause.
- Lower back down over a 3 count to the fully stretched position.
- Keep the knees still under the pads instead of bouncing to help drive the weight up.
