The Nautilus XPLoad Seated Calf incorporates all the mainstream benefits of other (bent-knee) units along with a rugged design. The unique, diamond-plate foot platform helps users maintain foot placement and maximum stretch, and also allows for dorsi-flexion movement. Exercise input arms pivot on pillow block bearings, with low-to-groud loading points, and a fall-away stop mechanism allows easy entry and exit.
The Nautilus XP Load line is intelligent, plate loaded equipment for high-performance workouts and it follows the body’s every move. Rugged, yet easy to use, each Nautilus XP Load machine correctly addresses the strength curve of the body part it’s designed to train and combines the smooth feel of free weight equipment with the controlled, biomechanical movement of a machine. Optimal Strength Curve Technology matches the body’s potential increases and decreases in strength. Instead of forcing users to follow an incorrect path of motion, XP Load equipment provide a proper movement path.
A Nautilus XPLOAD Plate Loaded Seated Calf Raise is, and can best be described as follows: A Seated Calf Raise is a plate-loaded strength station designed for performing a calf raise exercise by placing the user in a seated position with the legs braced under pads above the knee. The weight is then lifted by the user flexing the ankle and pushing down on the balls of the feet.
