Icarian Donkey Calf Raise Machine

[OKLAHOMA STATE]

I have always had small but strong calves. I just joined a new gym 2 months ago and they have an Icarian Donkey Calf Raise Machine and I've been using it work calves 4-5 days a week and my calves have exploded in size. I'm not a big fan of machines but this piece of equipment is money.

Interesting man (and welcome: you're the first Oklahoman here in awhile. (I wonder...)).

How much size did you add to your calves, exactly? And what did your routine look like? Do you think any other calf exercise would've done just as well as this Icarian get-up, or was it somehow key to your progress?

I've done many a standing calf raise and seated calf raises in the past with good gains in strength but little in size. The donkey calf machine has made my gastrocs explode in width and depth. The machine lets you get a great stretch throughout the movement. It goes up to 400 pounds and I've topped that and have been putting weight (up to 35s now) on top of it. I do 3 sets of 15 4 days a week and its working great. Highly reccommend this machine.

Which one is the donky calf raise machine. Our gym uses Icarian machines and we have 3 different ones for calves. The totally seated on which you can stack plates on, the standing one where you bend over and grip the handles and adjust it at 20lbs at a time, and the incline seated on where you adjust it with it 20lbs at a time.

The one where you are bent over is the donkey calf machine.
