Body-Solid GSCR349 Seated Calf Raise

Our Review of the GSCR349 from Body-Solid:

Not a review of the Body-Solid GSCR349 specifically, as it offers the build and value you'd expect from Body-Solid - good, more an indication as to why your training facility should have one. The seated calf raise position is a great exercise for developing the soleus muscle (located underneath your Gastrocnemius muscle). Subsequently, it's an important aesthetic exercise for a lot of women who have an appearance of a high calf due to wearing heels all day. It's also incredibly important for anyone wishing to add shape and/or size to their calfs. The tougher free-weights gym will benefit from the tougher upholstery and frame of the GymRatZ Seated Calf Raise.

Here's what Body-Solid have to say about their GSCR349:

A combination of user-friendly ergonomic design and advanced biomechanical engineering, the GSCR349 was created to increase calf muscle interaction and speed the rate of development. This is achieved by the use of a unique foot platform design that eliminates stress compression on the ball of the foot while providing maximum range of motion for deep muscle fiber penetration. The weight carriage is designed for a 3:1 weight ratio and pivots on precision pillow block and sealed ball bearings for smooth friction-free movement through heavy-duty calf-blasting workouts. In order to carry the heaviest loads, the main frame is constructed of 2" x 3" 11-gauge high-tensile strength steel, making the GSCR349 perfect for high traffic, heavy use gyms and clubs. Super-durable, full 3" thick DuraFirm™ padding supplies the comfort even during workouts with enormous poundage.
