Instructions

Put the balls of your feet on an extended leg press pad. Use your calves to press the weight by flexing your feet/toes into a pointed position, and releasing back into a relaxed position. This exercise builds mass and strength in the Gastrocnemius and Soleus muscles as well, if not better, than any calf exercise.
