Some people naturally have big calves. If you’re not one of them, don’t give up. You can still make good progress on what nature gave you by working your calves with a variety of rep ranges and angles.

Our Calf Block helps you compete with the genetic lottery by training your calves as a major muscle group.

The Ironmaster Calf Block is a versatile bit of kit for your home gym. Whether you are a beginner or someone who’s been working away at your calves for decades, you will soon feel the benefits of this product.

Punish your calf muscles with standing calf raises, seated calf raises and donkey calf raises by combining our Calf Block plus the Ironmaster IM1500, Ironmaster IM2000, Ironmaster Quick-Lock Dumbbells, Ironmaster Barbells or practically any other weightlifting equipment!

“Calf blocks are one of those items that some will skip when outfitting a home gym; they should not skip this item. There are so many uses for a solid calf block.” – Steven T

Why use the Ironmaster Calf Block?

Ironmaster is an industry leader in home strength training equipment. We are constantly striving to produce the best, hard-wearing equipment, guaranteed to last you a lifetime. Good equipment is something you should only have to purchase once for your home gym. So why settle for anything less than the best?

Super Stable

The ergonomically designed calf block is 9cm tall and 51cm wide, with tried and tested grip tape on the top to keep your feet locked in position and the same grip tape on the bottom to prevent movement. These features give you a sturdy piece of equipment you can rely on.

Super Strong

Solid equipment is essential if you are serious about setting up a home gym. Our all-welded extra heavy gauge steel is about as robust as it gets! Check out this clip of a forklift driving over one of our Calf Blocks!

Do you have shorter legs?

Not everyone has long levers. If you’ve got shorter legs, just sit the Calf Block at the end of the Super Bench when you do flat bench presses (it acts as a raised platform).

Buy it once, buy it right.

You can see that our calf block is built to last. Our design, durability and build quality means you will never have to purchase another calf block again. This is not just another cheap calf block, this exactly what you need in your home gym.

“This is a perfect addition if you’re looking to buff those calves up.” – Mark N

At Ironmaster we believe that no home gym should be held back by its equipment. Focus on your workout, not on your equipment. No stress, no fuss, no frustration. After all, isn’t that why you decided to train at home?

Exercise with the Ironmaster Calf Block

IronmasterUK Calf

Standing Calf Raise

Isolate the calf muscles with this exercise. Using either the IM2000 Smith machine or a barbell, get into position with the bar across your shoulders, and the balls of your feet on the calf block with your heels extending off it.  
You can also do standing calf raises with dumbbells held by your sides. Raise your heels by flexing your calves and extending your ankles as high as possible. Your knees should be kept in position. Return to the starting position slowly and repeat.

IronmasterUK Calf

Seated Calf Raise

Sit on the flat Super Bench either under the IM2000 bar or with a barbell across your lower thighs (about target 10 cm above your knees) or a dumbbell resting on each thigh. Position your feet on the calf block as per the standing calf raise and raise up on your toes as high as possible, squeezing your calf muscles. Slowly return to the starting position and repeat.

IronmasterUK Chest

Donkey Calf Raise

This is a great calf exercise which you can do with the IM2000 while bent over with the padded bar across your tailbone area, or with a training partner sitting on your lower back. Complete the donkey calf raise movement as per the standing calf raise, returning to the starting position and repeating.

“Very sturdy and secure. Non-slip. Nice and compact as well so easy to store and transport. Like all of the Ironmaster equipment, it is a very high quality and feels good to use.” – Dawn

This is more than just a Calf Block. This is the opportunity to push yourself to the limit knowing your equipment is durable and reliable. As you continue you journey to excellence, we’ll be here for you every step of the way with everything you need for the perfect training set up.
