Calf Machines

A calf gym machine is a great addition to your gym. It will help you build mass in your calf muscle in an effective way. Calf machines include the leg press machine which helps you build strong quads, hamstrings, glutes and calves. The smith machine can be useful for calf raises and the hack squat machine will help you build strong muscular legs. We would also recommend that you check out the standing or seated calf machine and the donkey calf raise machine.

There are alternatives to the calf machine including using a plyo box and a balance ball to work the calves. Free weights can also be really helpful, particularly the barbell for the standing calf raise and dumbbells for performing heel raises.

When you are looking at calf exercise machines do consider if you want a standing or seated machine. A seated calf machine usually only works the calves, but it does work the soleus muscle really well. Standing calf machines often double up as squat machines and work the gastrocnemius muscle. They can usually allow for greater weights to be lifted too. 

Always look at machines that are durable and constructed from steel. Adjustability is also important and, finally, consider the quality of the padding as this helps keep your thighs comfortable while working out.
