Pretty much every single calf exercise is an isolation exercise...this one is a COMPOUND exercise for calves.

It works in conjunction with a trap bar deadlift to put very functional loading on the gastroc and soleus muscles in one exercise.

My stubborn calves like this one a lot. If you've got calves that are resistant to growth, this one is absolutely worth testing out.

Check it out here...I've posted two variations of it..one pictured here and another that gives you a full range of motion on the calves, too.

It actually makes calf training kind of fun!
