Hoist Roc It Rotary Calf Machine How To Use It 

I like using that machine with my knees bent when I've got the pedals pushed as far as they'll go to get the soleus in there. If it's impossible to complete the rep without pushing with my thighs, the seat is too close. For me, that's seat position 4. I'm 5'10.5 in barefoot shoes, and I use position 5. I also use pretty slow reps, though I do use some variety with a few isometric holds throughout. Sometimes I come down for a full stretch, sometimes I stop halfway in between and push it all the way out again. Sometimes I push a steady, but full pump with controlled eccentric movements until I can't move my feet anymore. I've also begun just pushing any amount of weight I can actually move. If I can move it, I do reps with it, even if I can only move it two inches. I already had bottom-heavy legs before getting a gym membership. Since I currently have the opposite problem that so many others seem to have (calves proportionally bigger than thighs), I promised myself I wouldn't work the rest of my body too much until I figure out how to get my calves to grow first. I was wrong in predicting it would be easy to grow calves if they were already big without trying. I was wrong. They're the size they are, and getting them to grow any more than they already have on their own seems to be as difficult for me as it is for anyone. But I think I'm seeing some results from these new approaches in the past month. I was afraid to push too much weight at first because I didn't want to hurt myself, but then I thought... if it doesn't hurt at all to push the weight, then push it, no matter what it is; if it feels off at all when doing it, stop immediately. Jeez, I write too much. No wonder I'm always so late going to bed.

Dont lock knees

Hate this machine so much
