    Samson Barbells Seated or Standing Calf Raise.

    The inner muscle or the inner head of the outer muscle? Increasing the size of the soleus will give more overall size to the calf area but the majority of the definition will come from the gastrocnemius. You will struggle to increase one head of the muscle more than the other, the shape will...

    Samson Barbells Seated or Standing Calf Raise.

    Yes, the gastrocnemius is essentially what you see, the larger outer muscle while the soleus sits behind it. See pic below..but you'll also have muscles in the front of the leg, along the shin You pretty much rule out gastrocnemius assistance when the knee is bent, so seated half raises and toe...

    Arachidonic Acid (ARA)

    Because they don't put 100% in to the training and diet to begin with. They're sitting at 75% with everything, including the $500/month worth of supps. You could get the same results by putting in more effort to the things that play a bigger role and won't cost you much, if anything. I'm...

    Samson Barbells Seated or Standing Calf Raise.

    Depends what muscle you want to target. Standing will be better for the gastrocnemius, seated for the soleus. You could still sit in the Smith with a platform/plank of wood and have the bar just behind the knee... probably the only time I'd suggest a towel/bitch pad. Not sure how difficult it...

    Arachidonic Acid (ARA)

    Can't say I've ever seen it for a decent price in Aus...I got it from the states, try Nutri-verse or someone, SNS X gels used to be reasonably priced. Never found it did much/anything for me though

    [Rugby] Rugby League & Rugby Union discussions.

    You can't remove them, they make up more of the team list than the regular players! The fact is that the system (all competitive sports) takes a lot of players at young ages, pays them a half decent amount compared to what they would have been making as a student, apprentice or whatever else...

    Surfing..

    Used to in my younger days. Was definitely a "beach bum" around 16-18, would be there from sun rise to sunset almost every day. Not so much any more, still have boards but don't get out much. I'm a bit pickier of when I go, waves in Perth are pretty shite unless you go a few hours north or...

    Pecs

    Yes. Declines have a higher EMG activity than flat or incline and promote more overall growth

    Floppy pecs? Add more mass to them and do declines if you're talking lower pec

    Power Rack For Low Ceiling Garage

    Have you thought about a squat rack instead? If you've only got 100mm or so between the pull up bar and the roof, aren't you going to be hitting your head when you do pull ups anyway? Can always throw a barbell on the top peg of the squat rack and pull up on that and they're usually only 1600...
