July Calf Challenge

All my seated calf raises are done on either the 45 Leg press or normal leg press

Seated calf raise 5x20 @ 11 plates

Really couldn't be bothered training ( lack of sleep )
 
7-7-12

2 x single leggers 12, 12

3 x 2 legs (1 sec per rep, 20 sec rest between sets) 45, 25, 15

calves are dying :(
 
Saturday 7th July, 2012

6.5km walk from Coogee Beach to Bondi Beach.
Quite a few steps involved.
That's my calf training recovery workout.

who knew,

training a small muscle group at 100 reps+ a day, that muscle group would eventually be fatigued aka dying
 
My calves feel great. Feel like they've had a good workout, but don't feel bad in anyway. Shouldn't have any problems seeing the end of the month out, and with the results I've gotten so far, just makes me wanna work harder. :)

Today I've done single leggers again

each leg 20, 15, 15, 15, 25 x bw

Have people given up already ???
 
but seriously, wait till you kids start working, you don't get recovery days.

I'm sure everything will be ok.

my prediction is that I will get about 1/2 a cm in the ol' cows. (which is ok by me)

my trainer is going to kill me with the ones that he has set up and my calf muscles will bulge it looks something like this:
One set consists of 4 x 10 full contractions, 20 pumps (together) then singles x 10 - this gets done 3 times!!
