Seated Calf Raise

Calves · Machine

How to do it

Seated with the pads on your thighs and the balls of your feet on the platform. Full range up and down with a pause at both ends. With the knee bent the gastrocnemius is shortened and the work goes to the **soleus**, which carries most of the calf's size and which almost nobody trains. You feel it lower, near the ankle. High reps, no rush.
