Horizontal bench presses and calf raises go hand in hand

2024-10-12
The Super Horizontal Bench Press and the Commercial Seated Calf Raise Machine are two completely different pieces of Strength Training Equipment, targeting different muscle groups in the upper and lower body, with significant differences in the movements and muscle groups targeted. Here are the main differences:

                                                                                                                                   Commercial Seated Calf Raise Machine                                               Super Horizontal Bench Press
 
 
1. Target Muscle Groups
Super Horizontal Bench Press.
Mainly used to train the upper body muscles, especially the pectoralis major, deltoids (shoulder muscles) and triceps (muscles at the back of the arm).
The movement focuses on the chest push-up to help build upper body strength and shape the chest muscles.
 
Commercial Seated Calf Raise Machine.
Specifically designed to train the calf muscle groups, specifically the gastrocnemius and flounder (the main muscles of the lower leg).
Through heel raises and lowers, it increases the strength and endurance of the calf muscles and improves the shape and explosiveness of the calves.
 
2. Movement Type
Super Horizontal Bench Press.
The movement is an upper body horizontal push up. The user lies on the machine, grips the handles or barbell and pushes the weight upward, then controls the weight to slowly return to the starting position.
The movement is similar to a traditional bench press and focuses on strength training for the chest, shoulders and arms.
 
Commercial Seated Calf Raise Machine.
The movement is a calf raise. The user sits on the machine with the knees of the legs pressed under the mat and the heels resting on the platform, lifting the weight through the heels to train the calf muscles.
The movement focuses on isolation training of the calf muscles, with the extension and contraction of the feet helping to strengthen the calf muscles.
 
3. Equipment Design
Super Horizontal Bench Press.
The equipment is designed for horizontal benching, where the user lies on a bench and performs chest presses with the push load oriented horizontally forward.
The equipment usually consists of a bench, barbell or handles, and appropriate safety devices to help the user push safely.
 
Commercial Seated Calf Raise Machine.
Designed for a seated position, the user sits in a chair with a weight bar under the knees and the front of the feet resting on a platform and lifts the weight by raising the heels.
The machine is designed to provide a stable training environment for isolated movements of the calf muscles.
 
4. Training Objectives
Super Horizontal Bench Press.
The main goal is to improve upper body strength, especially chest strength and muscle size. Ideal for users who want to strengthen their chest, shoulders and arms.
Commercial Seated Calf Raise Machine.
The goal is to build strength and muscular endurance in the lower calf muscles. Ideal for users who want to build calf muscle or increase calf strength and improve athletic performance.
 
5. Suitable for
Super Horizontal Bench Press.
Ideal for people who want to build chest, shoulder and arm strength, especially fitness enthusiasts, strength trainers and athletes.
Commercial Seated Calf Raise Machine.
Ideal for people who need to strengthen their calves, especially runners, athletes in jumping programs, and gym-goers who want to improve the definition of their calf muscles.
 
 
The Super Horizontal Bench Press is a strength training machine for the upper body, mainly for the chest, shoulders and arms.
The Commercial Seated Calf Raise Machine, on the other hand, is a machine that targets the calf muscles and is primarily used to build calf strength and muscular endurance.
These two machines are suitable for completely different training purposes, so users can choose the right equipment for their training needs.
