Machine Seated Single Calf Press
The seated calf press on one leg: leg straight, the ball of the foot on the plate's lower edge, the ankle moving the stack.
How to do it
Setup
Seated in the leg press, one leg straight, the ball of its foot on the plate's lower edge.
Steps
- Point the foot and push the plate away.
- Squeeze the calf with the foot fully pointed.
- Let the plate bring the toes back toward the shin.
Common mistakes
Knee bending to help: the leg stays straight and still. Foot slipping up the plate: only the ball of the foot on its lower edge. Letting the plate slam back: return it slowly.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
