Calf Press

Machine Calves

The Calf Press is a strength movement that targets your calves. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Calf Press

  1. Seat yourself in the calf press machine and place the balls of your feet on the lower edge of the footplate.
  2. Release the safety, then lower your heels until you feel a full stretch in the calves.
  3. Press through the balls of your feet to full extension and hold one second.
  4. Keep your knees soft — don't lock them out under load.
