Overview
Seated calf raises load the calves with the knees bent, which shifts more of the work onto the soleus, the deeper calf muscle, than standing calf raises do. A dedicated seated calf machine is one of the most dependably used pieces in a bodybuilding gym.
Plates load onto a horn close to the knee pad. On a pre-owned unit we check the pivot, the knee-pad upholstery and the grip surface of the toe platform, and we test the safety stop.
How sourcing works
Many of the best machines change hands when a gym upgrades. Our networking team keeps in touch with gym owners and suppliers so we can look for specific models on your behalf.
