Friday got in cardio and then a good chest session without any shoulder issues. Then hit calves.
I really wanna make the calves grow so trying this a couple 2-3 times a week:
SEATED RAISES
STANDING RAISES
DONKEY RAISES
Pausing at top and bottom. Doing 5 sets min each but usually more of standing raises
Input welcomed
Planning a afternoon session today…
Cardio for 30 and warm up
HAMS
Leg curls 75/100/110 x5 sets
Stiff leg ded lifts 100/150/200x 4 sets
QUADS
Squats 100/150/200/250 x 5 sets
Extensions 100/125/150…
125 X max 16
100x max 21
Noticed I’m bad to not write in my last few sets and till right to the next exercise. Did 4 of the skull crusher SS and 4 of the v bar push downs.
Meadows calves with 20 sec rest between sets are punishing - I like them a lot

I’m still fighting to put weight on - 7 meals yesterday - gonna be a garbage disposal again today.
Was 233 yesterday…
234 today - and I know that can be all kinds of stuff but still makes me happy lol
@jackolee I finished biceps w the 100 attempt w 35…I was seeing stars and arms wouldn’t go after 90 lol good shit man
Not logical at all but I find it easier to finish if around 20 reps left I start counting down. Just feels slightly more manageable counting from 20 down to 1.
After 50 I was counting them 1-10 seemed easier
Which crapped out on ya… forearms or biceps?
Hell both I think
Cardio and chest yesterday. Been doing nothing but inclined presses trying to build up and not damage shoulder - was able to throw in some light flat bench presses yesterday with no ill effects.
Training Legs in an hour after I download some more coffee…
If shoulder is bugging ya why not do dumbbells or cables rather than straight barbell work?
That’s exactly what I’ve been doing since Jan - and slowly incorporated inc barbells and then yesterday flat barbell. Just a little at a time I guess
Sunday funday here.
Went ahead and did 30 cardio then trained hams and quads. Stayed at 225 today and squated sets of 15/13/10/8 then 200 for 10/8
Normally don’t train calves w legs but plenty of time so 18 sets later I’m feeling punished. 2.25 hr session.
Here’s the recovery meal
Yeah I just recently found your log and haven’t played catch-up. Hope adding in the flat bar treats you ok!
That’s one hell of a leg session. Man I can’t wait to squat again!
Ya only went up to 150 so it ain’t like I’m breaking records lol
