This is what I was talking about above. What do you guys count as full reps? He’s barely even going halfway up with that weight. It’s seriously hard to gauge strength progress because half the time when you’re going up in weight the ROM is just going down. I was doing 255 on some machine back in november and the other day did 230 for the same reps because my ROM was just larger and it was just as hard.
Also, do you guys use your hands on the seated calf raises? I always did but then I took them off of the handles and put them on the side so they couldn’t help at all and the reps were practically cut in half. I was doing 110x11 or something like that (again, calves only about 15in) and without hands at all I only got 6x115. [/quote]
Kai actually answers the OP’s exact question, brilliantly, I might add, toward the end of this video. Good post!
