Lever Seated Squat Calf Raise On Leg Press Machine

How to perform

To perform the Lever Seated Squat Calf Raise on Leg Press Machine:

1. Adjust the seat of the Leg Press Machine so that your feet are comfortably placed on the platform with your knees at a slightly bent position.

2. Place your feet shoulder-width apart on the platform, with your toes pointed slightly outward.

3. Position your shoulders against the backrest and grasp the handles or the sides of the seat for stability.

4. Push through your heels to extend your legs and lift the weight until they are fully extended. Keep your back flat against the backrest throughout the movement.

5. Slowly lower the weight by bending your knees until they reach a 90-degree angle.

6. Once your knees are at a 90-degree angle, press through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as possible, contracting your calf muscles.

7. Hold the raised position for a second, then lower your heels back down to the starting position.

8. Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions.

9. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise and maintain proper form to prevent injury.

10. After completing the set, carefully release the weight and return the lever to its starting position.

This exercise can be performed with lighter weights and higher reps for muscle endurance, or with heavier weights and lower reps for muscle strength and growth. Adjust the weight accordingly to challenge yourself while maintaining proper form.
