I was wondering does anyone have a suggestion for a good place to buy a seated calf machine online, Im 6'4" so you may know most calf machines do not fit my height.:confused:

yeah. 6'4 sounds nice ...

try a barbell and some plates ... put it on your shoulder, stand on a ledge and go up and down 40 or so times ... you dont need a machine to train calves.

You might try drawing a diagram, with measurements, and going to a local
metal shop. They might make something like that for a 100 dollars. Make
the leg pad part adjustable for different users. You will have to add the
plywood and wrap it for the seat and leg pads. Its really a easy thing to
build. (to me anyway)

building materials: 12 ft - 2" square tube steel
3 ft - 1 3/4" square tube steel
1 ft - 1" or 2" round tube steel (depends on plate size)
2 - 3/8" dia by 2 1/4" long bolt and nut
1 - 3/4" plywood (with plenty left over. LOL)
1 - 1" blue board
1yd - vinyl material

The plywood and blue board you could get free at any construction site.
They throw away peices that are more than big enough.

Im 6'3", and know how hard it is to find the right size of any thing.

Try these guys. They are making me a custom cross cable machine and I have used them in the past. All custom work, good prices, good people.
