Calf Press Using Leg Press Machine

Calves

Description

Put the balls of your feet on an extended leg press pad. Use your calves to press the weight by flexing your feet/toes into a pointed position, and releasing back into a relaxed position.

This exercise builds mass and strength in the Gastrocnemius and Soleus muscles as well, if not better, than any calf exercise.
