The smith machine seated calf raise builds bigger, stronger calves. It lets you lift heavy weight safely while targeting your calf muscles with full control.
1. Set up a bench under the Smith machine bar and sit with the bar resting on your thighs near your knees. 2. Place the balls of your feet on a weight plate or platform, letting your heels hang off the edge. 3. Release the smith machine bar and let your heels drop as low as possible to stretch your calves. 4. Push through the balls of your feet to raise your heels as high as you can, squeezing your calves hard at the top. 5. Lower slowly back to the starting position and repeat for your desired reps.
• Keep your knees directly over your toes throughout the entire smith machine seated calf raise movement. • Pause for one second at the top of each rep to get maximum muscle contraction in your calves. • Use a full range of motion - go as low as possible and as high as you can reach. • Keep your core tight and back straight during the smith machine seated calf raise.
• Bouncing at the bottom instead of controlling the weight through the full range of motion. • Using momentum instead of muscle strength to lift the weight during smith machine seated calf raise. • Not going low enough at the bottom, which limits the stretch and effectiveness of each rep.
