Super Seated Calf

The Super Seated Calf is a plate-loaded machine on which the trainee sits and places the knees under padded levers so the load falls onto the calves. The balls of the feet rest on a step and the heels are raised and lowered in a controlled manner, which targets especially the soleus, the broad lower calf muscle, when the knees are bent. The seated position isolates the calf muscles effectively and limits assistance from other muscles. Regular training builds ankle strength, calf size and lower-limb endurance, supporting running, jumping and everyday movement. The Super Seated Calf offers a controlled, isolating way to strengthen often-neglected calf muscles.
