Seated Calf Raises With A Smith Machine

Full Tutorial: http://www.musclehack.com/build-muscular-calves-with-calf-raises

This is how I perform the seated calf raise with my Smith Machine.

The balls of your feet should be just on the edge of the foot rest. This will allow you to achieve a full contraction.

TIP! When you think youre at the top of the rep, try to push up an inch higher!

Everyone owns that same gym I love it on yours are the cables too long for full range pec decks?

@djpuplex No they're fine

Another surefire hit, this time for the calves. Your exercises are very innovative, Mark, and simple yet effective. Smith machine is one of my favourite equipment, love doing squats on them because they give me (my back esp.) more stability and I find smith machine exercises more superior. I could be wrong...anyway, am looking forward to your next lesson. So to speak.
