Fit505 Calf Block

I like that you can place the grip tape right on the edge to get more traction. Also very solid.

This is probably the single highest value item in my home gym. With this inexpensive item my calves are basically taken care of. Plus it takes zero floor space and setup takes 5 seconds. There are many ways to use this. Personally I grab a kettle bell in one hand, hold on to power rack with other hand, and do calf raises on this thing one leg at a time.

For only $39 this calf raise step is a real bargain. All you need is a sturdy flat bench, a barbell, and weight plates for this item to be effective (assuming you have a basic home gym set-up?). Seated calf raise machines can cost hundreds of dollars, and standing calf raise machines can cost thousands of dollars, besides the extra space required for single stations. Then there are gym memberships that can get pricey in the long haul, besides being pressured into expensive personal training sessions. Bottom line, something is better than nothing, like this calf raise step. Thanks, and would recommend.

Quality item. Well built. Beats finding a set of stairs.
