Calf Press (on Leg Press)
Calf Press (on Leg Press) is a single-joint exercise focused on the calves. Use a deliberate tempo and a full range of motion — momentum steals the tension this movement exists to create. It loads the target muscle in a deep stretched position, which makes it a strong hypertrophy choice.
