Ok. things didn't go to plan on the calves...
Got the shits with work on friday, big time.
Dropped my shit and went home, was very "busy" friday night after work. Forgot about calves.
Saturday was a blur, only slept for 2 hours on friday... all I know is I didn't train calves.
Sunday took the kids to dreamworld sick and tired as hell, cant remember what I did after that.
Have a blister on the ball of my foot (I think it's calf raise related) lymping around at work today. but got 5 sets of statics in..

Early enough for ya bella
edit. just saw your perfect record has been tarnished twice before...
5 sets of doubles with some singles thrown in for good measure.
I was in my own little calf raise world when at the end of my 2nd set , a saw a co-worker standing infront of my machine watching me... Goddamn it

KFG.
Last day tried to 'push it'
not sure how many bw sets l did on the steps at work today... id assume 5ish till 'failure' then tonight hit the weight.
3 x 20 @ 62 standing bb calf raise
3 x 20 @ 62 seated bb calf raise.
KFG measurements....
Started @ 34.
Finished @ 35.5
Both measurements taken 10cm below knee cap. Jelly.... Bw stayed more or less the same, might have even lost a kg. Picture to follow tomorrow.

I didn't take measurements unfortunately, but I've lost some weight, I know that much.
I took some quick ones, quality is shit house, I'll take proper one's tomorrow in the daytime. But definitely more definition in the calf region, am happy with that!
The DOMS lasted for about a week, give or take a few days (GIVE a few more days!) lol But then went away...strangely, they came back in the final 6 days again. Not so much the raging DOMS of the first week...but sore, like my calf muscles were screaming....lol
For a month though, some decent definition attained. Mission accomplished. I am going to see if I can keep this calf business up
These were my calves as tensed as I could get them at the start of July, shit house effort really, but I couldn't actually 'feel' them lol
These taken tonight, not overly tensed, just up on my tippy toes again, like in the 'before' shot. Can definitely feel the muscles there now though and a decent amount of definition for 31 days.
Not a bad effort. Sorry for the shitty pic quality, will update properly tomorrow. Was just too curious to see what they looked like on my final day

Yep, definitely! It became second nature after the first week or so.
In fact I'm going to continue doing calf work, alternating between bw singles and bb raises.
I can definitely feel a big difference and I can definitely see increased definition there.
AND it was fun, because you could do whatever you wanted to do and mix it up.
Push ups are going to suck arse.
Just sayin.
