lower leg w/o?

Jedi · 08-01-2002, 06:18 AM

Any good w/o for the lower leg? Or there are no w/o for *only* lower leg but for the leg as a whole?

I assume your talking Calves here? I do two HEAVY super sets of standing and seated calf raise AFTER my normal leg workout.

I do the same as scotty but I also do 12/12's. Basicially its 12 reps with a 12 count inbetween then another 12 for 5 times. basicially 96 reps in one long set. Do that on the standing calf with low weight. Then swith to a heavy weight and do 15 reps followed by 20 reps at no weight. You will be in so much pain!! Change is good surprise that muscle

there is a 75rep calf plan around here somewhere. A lot of people said they got results from it........I think dvlmn666 posted it somewhere.

Cool, I have seen this work for several "hardgainer" clients of mine and others. Only drawback is sore calves every week!

I've been doing these for almost 2 months now, and have been getting great results.

This is one set:

10 Reps
5 Second Rest
15 Reps
10 Second Rest
25 Reps
10 Second Rest
15 Reps
5 Second Rest
10 Reps

And no drop sets, keep the weight the same through the whole thing. That's one set. Usually 3 sets of it are enough for me. The pump and burn you get from this is better than I've been able to get from any other calf workout I've tried.

If you try it, let us know if it works for you. I know everybody responds different, but it's worth a try.

Here is the set of calf burner's I use and have had excellent results.

Using hammer machine- weights are examples

10 reps- 315
5 second rest -- just long enough to increase the weight

10 reps- 325
5 second rest -- just long enough to increase the weight

10 reps- 335
5 second rest -- just long enough to increase the weight

10 reps- 350
5 second rest -- just long enough to increase the weight

10 reps- 365

I do this twice a week.. but not on leg days.

Interesting...I haven't seen that before, but I do something similar....20-10 reps for 8 sets w/ 10 seconds rest between sets...unbelievable Pain!
