Impulse Stirling Seated Calf Raise

The Impulse Stirling Seated Calf Raise Is part of our new range of Impulse Stirling Strength Equipment. The Seated calf raise has a new and exciting design with an adjustable thigh pad for extra comfort. In my view (Chris writing) a seated calf raise is my prefered type of calf raise machine due to it taking alot of the weight off the knees and on to the calfs where it is wanted and with a lift assist to ensure the correct starting position regardless of how much weight is on the plate posts.

Pete Says: For the un-initiated who may be confused as to the benefits of the seated calf raise over the standing calf raise as an exercise it's pretty simple; One machine/exercise does NOT mean you don't require the other but with the knee bent at 90 degrees as with the seated calf raise machine the emphasis of the exercise is on the Soleous muscle which is noticeable in the lower part of the lower leg but runs up and "underneath" the gastrocnemius in the upper part of the lower leg whereas a standing calf raise predominantly activates the gastrocnemius or what most people understand or consider to be the "calf muscle" at the upper part of the lower leg. 

So although this is an excellent excercise for hitting an often overlooked soleous muscle it's use should still be balanced with regular stanfing calf raises for full and complete calf development.
