Sissy Squats
1st of all, these things are named wrong..lol ..I never had them as part of my normal leg regiment, but that changes today.
As some of you know, I changed gyms a few weeks ago. Well I’ve been seeing this little machine in the leg area that looked like a broken seated calf machine, missing the seat 
Never paid a lot of attention to it until I got my FLEX mag yesterday. Inside was a retro article on Sissy Squats and guess what machine they were using? Yup, the ‘missing seated’ calf machine..lol
I warmed up with 4 sets of them in todays quad workout and loved it! The 1st two sets were bodyweight and the last two I added weight. I followed my quad workout with 4 more burnout sets to failureof these things..I LOVE Em!! Guess you can now call me a sissy!

I think they call them sissy squats because they turn the user into a sissy. Definately not an exercise for the faint of spirit. Seems like the new gym is working out for you. Glad to hear it.
Peace!
