The Perfect Calf Accessory. Period.

This accessory perfects what all other calf blocks get wrong, and that's maximum contact with your feet. Rectangular calf blocks force you to be on just the corner in the most crucial part of the movement, which is that deep stretch. The Calf Curve provides enough surface area through the entire range of the exercise. This allows you to get that deep stretch, AND power through the movement without fear of slipping, or having to readjust midway through your set. Don't be afraid to purchase this. I saw that they were out of stock so I emailed them to see when they were going to have more ready and they got back to me right away with a date. All fitness enthusiast need to know about this!

So appreciate your feedback, Alex. I couldn't have explained it better. Considering all foot sizes out there, we had to design a Goldilox-diameter to achieve exactly that, the most contact possible. Too little causes discomfort under heavy loads, too much causes slippage. One thing we've been trying lately (due to the sticking power of the curve) is pausing during plantarflexion (toes pointed downward at the top of the rep). Even with straight leg raises, it lights the soleus on fire, and still no slippage under 495 lbs. Highly recommended! Thanks again 💪

Calf Torture in a good way

I first saw the Calf Curve on the Hybrid Resistance channel. Since I'm always looking for better ways to stretch and work my calves I ordered one.
Shipping was fast, and the packaging was excellent.
It's has a super aggressive non slip covering. Which is good as you can get some very low angles with it. A less aggressive covering would let you sip, no chance of that with the Calf Curve. You are on as stable a platform as you could want.
During the exercise-Fast or slow- there is no shifting of the Calf Curve or slippage with your feet.
At first use, the Curve feels strange. But once you get used to it, you find a range of motion like nothing else.
Seriously, if you want to work on your calfs, this is the tool.

Amazing review, Jimi, really appreciate you taking the time! Also, you won't slip at the top of the rep either, the grip and curve allows extreme plantarflexion (pointing the toes down) pausing, which fires the soleus even during straight leg calf raises. If you haven't tried this already we highly recommend it. Thanks again!

Best Calf training platform by far

The angle and shape allow for a focus on the calf muscle rather than causing the feet muscles to be potentially fatigued much faster than on a flat platform, as well as the movement somehow just feels like it activates the calf better and more consistent throughout the movement.

Solid build and comfortable. Its pricey but has a unique design compared to whats on the market.

Thanks, Joseph! I hear you on price. If it was made overseas, the price would definitely be lower to reach more market. But we're sticking with US manufacturing. Appreciate your support!

Excellent purchase

Excellent purchase even from Europe away. Shape of the block is truly ideal for calf engagement. Thing to keep in mind is that best to combine with u-cups/smith machine or belt squat. With barbell or dbs in hand can be really unstable with heavy loads. As I don't have a power rack I do also unilateral work, loading with dip belt and bands and with one hand lean against the wall. Even so calfs are on fire!

Awesome, Pasi, thank you for your feedback! Really appreciate your support 🔥🔥

Very comfortable barefoot and works calves well

I got this, because I work out barefoot due to squats and deadlifts. I wanted something curved as straight corners were not comfortable. This was perfect! Good price, rigid and easy to store.

Thanks for your feedback, Mark! Glad you found the Curve. If you ever need to clean dry skin off the grip tape, belt sander cleaning blocks or grip tape erasers for skateboards work great.

Guys just get this, this is the one

I have been training for well over 20 years, also have ran my own gym for a decade plus so I have experienced all kinds of equipment, calf related products in general are rather awkward and nothing seems to be hitting the spot well, you either slide down the edge or it doesn't give a good stretch, it just overall don't feel quite right, I once briefly stepped on an axle barbell and thought it would be good if someone come up with a cylinder thing that doesn't rotate or slide, with enough grip and height to get a good stretch, it has to be thick enough (like the axle) so your foot can be on it etc. so I decided to Google again to see if there is such a thing, turns out there really is such a thing, it was out of stock as well but allows for preorder, I ordered it straight away but partly thought it might have some issue as recently my experiences with seemingly new companies were not the best, but turns out with these guys it's the complete opposite, I received the order far earlier than I expected and was very impressed with the construction and quality of the product and delivery was smooth and hassle free. I am no stranger to ordering training equipments online due to my profession, this came with no rust, no paint falling off, nothing chipped out of it. Just get it!!!

Powerful review, Reg! Sincerely appreciate you taking the time! We had the same frustrations and originally designed both the Curve (and U-Cups) to solve the exact problems you described for our own workouts. Really happy you are enjoying it! Thanks again 🙏💪
