Leg Press Calf Extensions

Description

The leg press calf raise is one of my favourite calf exercises. I find this exercise to be very natural to the movement of the calf and becuase of this, it's a very comfortable movement to do. It's also one of the most effective exercises you can do for your calves. The movement keeps constant tension on your calves and works the whole area.
