Shoulder Press on Standing Calf Machine

**Teddy-G** · 08-12-2010, 01:56 PM

The exercise is pretty self explanatory. You press the weight overhead on a standing calf raise machine. It doesn't go directly overhead, but more of a diagonal up and forward direction.

I tried it today and it felt good. It's a very different angle and it also hits the triceps really hard.

Anyone ever tried this and know of the pros/cons of the exercise?

Ah, shot in the dark here.... But you're not a fan are you?
