I decided I'm going to try keeping a journal here again to keep myself motivated and accountable for my workouts.

I have just been doing some fullbody workouts for about 4 months and only making that 1 or 2 times a week (sometimes life is just like that and shit happens!) so, I feel that I haven't put my whole heart into it and it is starting to show!!! So, back to the basics that I made the most gains on and felt the best on! Here I go....

I stand on one leg and hold the DB on that side then I do the other side. I'm not sure how I could use the BB for that? (I workout at home so options are limited)

Do you own a barbell? Then you'd just put the bar across your back and do both legs at the same time.

If you don't own a BB, you can pick up a used one for cheap.

Nice workout, too!

Got it. :thumb:

Once you've got your balance going, try doing your calf raises on a step platform. That way you can maximize your ROM (range of motion).

Encouragement is what the journals are all about!

not only that you will use a lot of stabilizer muscles to use a free barbell on calf raises. great exercise, but i would do it sparingly.. its hard to use a good amount of weight like that

Yes, exactly. I found it hard to put a lot of weight to the calves and I couldn't get the ROM I wanted. So I stuck with the DB's for now.

My RI's are @ 45sec. I'm trying to keep my heart rate up and it's working!!! :p

You should try the 8x3. I've seen your journal and you're a strong lifter so you would do really well on it.
