Exercises
Standing Machine Calf Raise
R
Repz
Calf raise on a dedicated standing machine with shoulder pads, allowing heavy loading of the gastrocnemius through a full range of motion.
The standing machine calf raise is a machine-based isolation exercise providing the heaviest loading option for gastrocnemius development, building maximal calf strength for sustained running propulsion across all HYROX race segments.
Definition and limits
A standing machine calf raise loads ankle plantar flexion while the knees are usually relatively extended. Gastrocnemius and soleus contribute, with other muscles helping control the ankle and foot. Machine design, knee position, range and load alter the task; it does not isolate one muscle completely.
