Machine Seated Single-Leg Squat Calf Raise on Leg Press Machine
The seated leg press and calf raise on one leg: press the plate out, then point the foot to push it further.
How to do it
Setup
In the seated leg press, one foot low on the plate, knee toward the chest.
Steps
- Press the plate away until the leg is straight but soft.
- Point the foot to drive the plate a little further.
- Bring the heel back, bend the knee; switch legs after the set.
Common mistakes
Using the two-leg load: one leg presses far less. Knee drifting in as it bends: keep it over the foot. Hips lifting off the seat at the bottom: bend only as far as they stay down.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
