  • We are reviewing one of the best seated calf machines on the market today. The Body Solid Seated Calf Machine: GSCR349 is a great fit for all home gyms and you won't be disappointed. I have owned this seated calf machine since 2016 and it still works just as well today as the day I bought it!!

    The seated calf machine is my favorite way to do calf exercises. In my gym they have several more expensive dedicated calf machines but I still mostly use a similar looking machine. It's old but the design is perfect.

      Yeah seated calves is just a hard one to load without a dedicated machine, so it’s always nice to have access to one.

    I really like the curved footplate. This machine is the mayor of painville if you push this exercise. Great review on a quality piece!

    If I had the room, this is actually a piece I'd want to have. Seated calf raises are a bit of a pain to set up without a dedicated machine. Looks like a well built piece. Great review!

      Thanks Carter, it’s definitely a lot easier to train them w the machine. I saw your setup with the Rhino and it definitely looks like a pain for setup.

      @@GoreckiFit Yeah, and I typically do them last. So by the time I get to them, I don't feel like setting it up, so I usually end up just doing BW single leg calf raises lol.

    Nice job on the review.
    I literally hate training calves so I don't train them at all. I've trained them in the past, hard, but never saw a change in them and it hurt so bad too, so I said no more calf training.
    Oh gracious, I did not
    realize calf machines are so expensive.
    I can't imagine what a Prime Fitness one would cost.
    U got a cool machine, U keep that Body Solid one forever!!!!!!
    $690 to my door, oh not me, I'll stick to using the bottom step on the stairs in my basement, sit or stand, but I used always stand but now I do neither.
    Take Care
    Cool little machine U

      Thanks Bobby, I train my calves plenty and they still don’t want to grow. Price was a lot better in 2016 for sure!! Take care man!!

    Do you find that the stopper limits your rom at the top of the movement?

    • @GoreckiFit
      @GoreckiFit  6 месяцев назад

      No, if you adjust the stopper at the bottom of seat, you can get it wide open to give you a complete full ROM.

    How would you compare to standing calf raises? Better in some ways, or just different?

    • @GoreckiFit
      @GoreckiFit  Год назад +3

      So when you have a bent knee like you do with this machine, it’s gonna be more emphasis on your soleus muscle compared to the gastrocnemius muscle. I train seated and standing to try and hit both muscles for calves.
