Short instructions

How to do Leg Press Calf Raise

Follow the numbered positions in the image and use each instruction as its matching cue.

  1. 1

    Set the starting position

    Adjust the seat so the pelvis and back remain supported at the bottom, place both feet securely on the platform, align knees with toes, and release the safeties only after bracing.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  2. 2

    Lower under control

    Inhale and lower the platform by bending the hips and knees while keeping the heels planted, knees tracking with the feet, and pelvis against the pad.

    Breathing: Inhale through the controlled return.

  3. 3

    Control the end position

    Stop at the deepest controlled position before the pelvis curls away from the pad or the knees lose alignment.

    Breathing: Breathe steadily; do not hold your breath.

  4. 4

    Drive back to the finish

    Exhale and press the platform away through the whole foot until the legs are nearly straight without forcefully locking the knees; re-engage the safeties after the set.

    Breathing: Exhale through the effort.

Setup and safety note: Use the declared Leg Press Calf Raise setup, maintain controlled joint alignment, and stop if the movement causes pain.
