I wish.
The struggle is real with calves....

if you want good calves. be obese.

i speak from experience.

 

[Shrek]

I’ll take small calves.

 

[Cum Shot]

I've heard many times you need to hit calfs more and more often if you struggle with growth down there. Include different calf routines and really annihilate them with every workout.

 

[Shrek]

4 times per week for me.

 

[Cum Shot]

2 pw for me.

I've come up with a method for overcoming some of the common issues with certain popular training methods, I haven't seen anyone come close to solving. Perhaps some top trainers have but haven't disclosed it to the general public.
Now I'm working on overcoming the lifting/cardio conundrum. Yes, I can hear nay-sayers, and you maybe white!

 

[Darkoz]

What lifting/cardio conundrum are you referring to?

 

[Stiffy]

I'm trying to get doing more cardio, not just walking. Perhaps superset full body routine. Problem is that's not great for strength and size.

 

[Darkoz]

You want to do more cardio?

 

[Stiffy]

Correct. Even though I'm doing Upper/Lower split I still don't feel as cardio vascularly fit when training.
The Upper/Lower isn't producing as much of a systemic response as I'd like.

 

[Stiffy]

You can't superset Benches ( or Push Ups) with Rows can you? The fatigueing of the Lats would put added stress on the Shoulder joint due to the Lats supporting the Shoulder joint during Benches hey?

Ask [MENTION=3627]Goosey[/MENTION] he'll know.

 

[Stiffy]

Dips and Chins superset - no way hey. Not just coz Lats are used in Dips too hey?

 

[Darkoz]

Every individual will respond differently in some way but I think that's one of the downsides with split training

 

[ironduke]

Could you include powerlifting/stronfman type conditioning work. Sled pushes, farmers walks etc? Or in the potention for injury too high?

 

[Darkoz]

You don't have to superset for conditioning but keep your rest period between exercises brief, 50 secs or less.

 

[Stiffy]

Yep Darkoz. That's one of the benefits of Full Body. Will look at rest periods too.
Thank Ironduke, but I was trying to avoid adding in the extra cardio session. I might just do a small amount of cardio pre training, then tack on some more post training. Not ideal for either strength, size or cardio but I'll play with it.
Cheers.
