hey. i need some help. my workout calls for machine standing calf raises but my gym doesn't have a calf raise machine. i was wondering if there were any substitutions to calf raises?

Thanks,
Jake

There are a couple that I can think of...but you're better off looking for yourself. Click on Fitness Resources and choose muscle targeting. All of FTs excersises are listed there.

Good luck!
