Where can someone get a Donkey Calf Raise Machine such as is on your web page: http://www.answerfitness.com/157/weight-machines-visual-guide-gym-weight-machines/ ? I have seen some that are 45 degree sleds (both plate loaded and selectorized) and a few that are similar to the one you have pictured (vertical position), but only selectorized – not plate loaded as on your web page. Who is the manufacturer of the one you have pictured?
Lat pulldown for chest too
