JAWS Bite-Size Calf Block

The JAWS Bite-Size Calf Block is a simple yet highly effective training accessory - a purpose-made calf block, rather than trying to repurpose something else, which isn't always the safest of endeavours.

By elevating the forefoot above floor level, the calf muscles are placed under a greater stretch at the bottom of every repetition, encouraging a fuller contraction and more effective training stimulus than performing calf raises on a flat floor and far safer than repurposing something like say a studio step.

Constructed for commercial gym use, the block features a wide footprint and flat, textured grip surface that provides excellent stability and confidence under heavy loads. Whether performing bodyweight calf raises, holding dumbbells, or training inside a Smith machine with substantial weight, the platform remains stable throughout the movement.

The JAWS Strength Calf Block is equally suited to freestanding calf raises while holding a squat rack or power rack for balance, or positioned within a Smith machine for heavy weighted calf raises. Its generous platform accommodates a wide variety of foot positions while maintaining a secure, comfortable stance.

Compact, durable and easy to move around the gym, it's an invaluable addition to any strength training facility.

Why use a calf block?

Standing calf raises performed from an elevated platform allow the heels to drop below the toes, placing the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles under a deeper stretch before each contraction. This increased range of motion can help maximise calf development while improving ankle mobility and lower leg strength.

Unlike narrow homemade alternatives or unstable step platforms, the JAWS Strength Calf Block provides a purpose-built, stable platform designed specifically for heavy calf training.
