I want to get a calf machine and I saw this one but it looks too good to be true. Does anyone have it or think it's worth buying? Is New York Barbells a site that is safe to order from?

yes you can but I dont feel like I get a good calf workout without a standing calf machine. I try holding dumbells on the stairs but its not the same. When I use the standing calf machine, I can put 300-500 pounds and work them out a lot harder so I dont mind spending a few extra hundred dollars on one.

yea, they can push a lot, but I seriously doubt 1,000 pounds will be too light for me anytime soon. I weigh 160 lbs and did 350 lbs on a standing calf machine once and could barely do 5 reps. I'd be stunned if I could add 650 pounds to my calf raises
Anyone else seen this machine or know if its safe to order from new york barbells?
thanks to everyone for input

Newyorkbarbells is a legit company and i have bought many things from them (Do a search in workout forum) and so have other's.
But i wouldn't spend that much money for a calf machine. But hey if thats what you want go for it.
Tip: Call when you order as that form can be confusing with shipping costs. CALL YOUR ORDER IN ON THE PHONE.
Goodluck !
