calves


I see everyone talking about calve work. My favorite exercise is standing calf raises this way:

1)start at full stretch
2)raise weight as high as you can to a 4 count
3)hold for 3 count
4)push up farther (you are actually tightening your calf)
5)hold for 3 count
6)push up farther (same as before)
7)hold for a 3 count
8)go back to full stretch position on a 4 count
9)hold for a 3 count
10)repeat

3 sets of 12-15, if this doesn't hurt, we are cheating.
