Tip: Build Traps in the Calf Machine

Sounds weird, but it works. Here's how to do it.

Tags ,
  1. Position yourself normally in a standing calf machine.
  2. Shrug your traps up. Hold the top position for a full two-second count. This is important because the range of motion is short on this exercise.
  3. Keep your glutes and abs tight to protect the lower back.

A variety of set/rep ranges will work with this exercise. Give it a shot!
