Stay focused on your calves
U-Cups™ were designed to prevent tipping backward while doing standing barbell calf raises. The U-shaped chamber contains the barbell which lets you focus 100% on the mind-muscle connection.

Build calf muscle faster
Research shows free-weight exercises require greater muscle fiber recruitment to stabilize the load. Rated at 1000 lbs, U-Cups™ will challenge your calves more than any machine can.

Save space in your gym
Standing calf machines and Smith machines can take up valuable floor space in your gym. U-Cups™ let you save space (and money) by utilizing your existing rack.

Works with most racks and barbells
U-Cups™ are designed to fit common sized rack posts with 1" or 5/8" pin holes. The inside “cup” is 38mm deep and will fit most barbell sizes, and is 11" in height to allow a full range of motion.

Lifetime Guarantee
U-Cups™ are solid, made with the highest grade of steel (A36 carbon plate) and HDPE plastic inserts. There are no moving parts. Their overbuilt quality will withstand whatever abuse you throw at them and still last a lifetime.

Made in the USA
U-Cups™ are utility patent protected (U.S. Patent No. 11,890,498) 100% American made. From source materials to manufacturing, assembly, packaging and shipping. We believe in supporting local economies.

Fantastic for calf raises

Best heavy calf exercise I’ve ever done. Load up the weight, stand on a stable wedge or platform for deep stretch. It’s so good. Of all my accessories this is my new favorite.

BOOM! 🔥🔥 Thank you so much for your words and photos, Todd! Truly appreciate your support! 🙏 Drop sets with 495/405/315/225/135 are brutal.

Perfect!

Pushing calves at home is challenging, but this makes it easy.

Great product and price. Thanks!

Amazing product. So simple but so effective. Been looking for a way to work calves from standing position with heavy weight. Feel safe and secure with barbell on shoulders throughout lift.

Amazing product, definitely worth it for heavy calf raises

These things are awesome. Let you work on heavy calf raises with stability and safety.

I had a longer review written, but lost it when I tabbed out for a minute, so here's the short version.

Anyways, just want to say thanks to Matt for helping me get all sorted out with the correct spacers and making sure the whole ordering process was smooth from start to finish.

If you have a 2x3 or 3x2 rack, definitely get the 3D printed spacers also, they make the whole setup much more stable.

Heavy duty steel, these things are beefy!!!! In my photos they are little dusty just from where I have them stored.

Great Product Just takes Getting used to.

This is an ingenious product. However, it does take some getting used to with angles etc to get a good hold especially with heavier weight when working your calves. Otherwise GREAT for home gyms!

Thank you for your review, Pat! Yes, it does take a few sesstions to get the height and your foot positioning just right. But once you do, it's butter, especially with heavy loads. Explaining proper setup has been one of our primary challenges. We plan on redoing this video soon: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3pc5OwR8YI
