Adjust the safety bars and select the appropriate weight you wish to lift, ensuring your legs are at a 90-degree angle and your toes are pointing forward.
Push the platform away using your heels and the balls of your feet, extending your legs fully but without locking your knees.
Slowly lower the weight back to the starting position, allowing your calves to stretch under the load.
Repeat the exercise for your desired amount of repetitions, making sure to maintain control and form throughout the movement.
Pro Tip
Controlled Movement: It's crucial to perform the exercise with a controlled movement. Avoid bouncing or using momentum to lift the weight. Instead, press up on the balls of your feet, hold for a moment at the top and then slowly lower your heels below the level of the platform. This will ensure that you're working your calf muscles effectively and not risking injury. Full Range of Motion: To get the most out of the Sled 45° Calf Press, ensure you're using a full range of motion. This means lowering your heels as far as you can to stretch the calf muscles, and then pressing up as high as possible to contract them.
