It's so much better than our calf press machine, which has worn out treads so your feet slip. You have to adjust your feet every 8-10 reps, they slide.

We don’t even have a calf raise machine at my current gym. Tried the v squat one day, and I just like the big platform to hang your feet off the back, plus ours has a bed liner like material on the platform which grips wonderfully.

But any gym I’ve been to the calf press machine felt sloppy. Normally worn out and just didn’t feel good. I prefer calf press on leg press over them now if in another gym.

Now I love seated calf raise machines but that’s different.

My old gym had a fantastic calf machine, a rotary calf press.

The platform you pushed your toes against had an axis at your ankles, so it curved with your natural foot motion vs simply going up and down.

That sounds nice. Never used one though

It was too perfect of a day yesterday to not be on some mountain tops. And of course, butt sliding down...20230312_161517.jpg20230312_150951.jpg20230312_125328.jpg20230312_135602.jpg20230312_150951.jpg

No, I cancelled his services, but no fault of his.

I switched gears after yet another failed attempt at even taking moderate doses of gear. I just get vicious acne, and it's not worth it to me.

I'm happy with my general ballpark weight, and I'll continue to make improvements, just not pushing food and drugs any longer. My focus is more towards health and living life right now, not trying to add a bunch of muscle weight.
