Machine Seated Squat Calf Raise on Leg Press Machine
A leg press and a calf raise in one rep: legs straight first, then the ankles push the plate further.
How to do it
Setup
In the seated leg press, balls of the feet low on the plate, knees bent toward the chest.
Steps
- Press until the legs are straight but not locked.
- Point the feet and push the plate further.
- Let the heels come back, then bend the knees to lower.
Common mistakes
Feet sliding off the plate at the bottom: plant the balls of the feet before each press. Knees snapping into a lock: soft before the ankle push. Blending both parts into one shove: press, then raise.
Breathing
Exhale pressing, inhale returning.
