Machine Calf Raise This exercise is an improved version of the standard calf raise. The adjustable weight gives more variations for the lift.
Description
  1. After adjusting the shoulder pads to your height, lift the weight with your calves and release the safety mechanism. Position your feet sot hat only the balls of your feet are supporting yourself.
  2. With only a slight bend in your knees, lower the weight by lowering the back of your feet.
  3. Using your calves, explode back up to the original position.
Things to Keep in Mind
  • Keep your back straight and knees bent throughout the lift.
  • Exploding upwards is a great way to increase your vertical leap.
