MM- I changed up my calf work a while ago, doing them twice a week (one seated at one gym, in the LP at the other). The 2 biggest things were: 1) very slow reps, deep stretch at bottom, hold at top, and 2) RP on last set or two (but not on all sets like you).
I’ve been walking funny ever since!
I did my legs 2 nights ago, but woke up this morning with what feels like daggers in my calves.
Incidentally, you are the front squat KING![/quote]
i agree with you. the biggest mistake most people make on calf work is they do that bouncing half rep crap. all they are doing with that is working the achilles tendon. you have to get a good stretch and a good contraction at the top. that’s why i’ve started doing rest/pause sets. once i can’t get a full ROM rep with a hard contraction, i stop for a moment and then go right back to it. i find that if i do straight sets that after a few sets i can’t get a hard contraction anymore. the lactic acid and pump basically make it impossible to do anymore work. now, i hit it hard and fast…get the work in and then i’m done.
thanks. front squats are going on the back burner for awhile to get my deadlift numbers respectible again.

Some of us want them shapely rather than massive, you know. I want the calves of a model. It’d be nice if the model was attached to them, but I could get by without I guess.

Just out of curiosity, what would you do with said shapely, yet unattached calve?
Calve fetish? Make a “Christmas Story” lamp?
I’m kinda weirded out so somebody help the newbie.

Ol’ PO, you really don’t want to see into the dark recesses of the Pale One’s psyche. It took a year of seeing a shrink to be able to turn my Ninja Turtles night light off at night when i did it.
thanks guys!!!
it looks like we will have a fourth guy coming with us tomorrow. VTballa has PMed me and will be heading down with us. He’s a regular poster in the powerlifting section here at T-Nation. it will be his first meet. This will be a good one to ease into. He will also be competing at one of th SPF meets this year in Va. as well.
i’ll report back with all the dirty details tomorrow night.
thanks again guys, you have no idea how much it means to me.
Kill some weight Big Man. We’re rooting for ya! Good lifting to Jowee too. I didn’t see - is Dave competing?
