edit* sorry went back and read, you do one or two more sets then me, just that same weight. ps i forgot to tell you, went awsome, check my log. oh yea btw your incline bench is crazy! |
yesterday i was a zombie.
felt horrible,
but did a shoulder workout anyway and it was amazing.
yeah, my fav. calf raise routine is
standing calf raises - 4x12
lying one-legged calf raises - 4x12
seated calf raises - 4x12
but my calves grow real slow.
great deadlift islander.
hey guys, islander deadlifted
205lbs
about people's range of motion on calf raises, this is the only way mine will show the slightest growth. because my calf insersions are way up at the knee. but other people have their calves more toward the center or even more towards the ankle which makes it a lot eaiser to isolate them. that's why some people have big calves and they only do a short ROM.
some people have big calves without working them out (my mom). it's genetics.
