Daily Calf Raise Seated Gastrocs- plate loaded 45 deg sled- paused reps top/bottom holds
- 6x45lb x10
- 8x45lb 16,16,16,16

* felt the tightness/fatigue in my gastrocs from yesterdays high rep - multi sets. did it again today in the seated sled. prefer to use this instead of a standing-back loaded smith or calf machine. saving the upperback from too much beating. my left VMO yesterday got tender also from supporting all those straight leg calf raise sets.
* no problems with the squats warmups today. legs not tired. post squat jump reps for speed kept low.

Daily Calf Raise Seated Soleus- plate loaded paused reps top/bottom holds
- 3x45lb x10
- 4x45lb+25lb 10,10
- 4x45lb+35lb 10,10

* il do the 4plates + 35lb 10x4sets for a few days/weeks while upping my carbs. see if that feeds it more mass. after i get to 5plates, il hold it there and just focus on getting my head supported rows to 2plates x 10reps.
* my squat is holding nicely even at sub 170BW. i will eventually find a way to peak 1-2x/week after the end of next month (to complete my 1-year-daily-squat thing). if everything goes my way, i prefer to rep 425x1 routinely with a 440x1 on strong days - at least 1x a week.

^ i am not going to vid myself taking my BP. my caffeine tolerance is higher than ave. 100mg on an empty stomach is not even going to do anything significant.

all these 10-20 reps of either BW calf raises, situps, head-supported rows(favorite), back extension/ghr and chins that i do multiple times a day at home kicks up my heart rate to >100BPM as i do these accessory lifts. thats my cardio.

- 8x45lb 10,10,20 **

* might have done too much jumping yesterday (did SVJ dunks). legs did not have it this morning. stopped at 385 to regroup and lift better later. i was strong yesterday and instead of going for 425x1, i did more jumping which killed my legs a bit.
* lifted in the other gym with the 45 deg sled for straight leg calf work. i am noticeably stronger now. was able to 20 rep the sled with max weight (sled can take max of 4x45lb each side). these are paused reps at top and bottom. my soleus work later might suck.

* got my 405 again. did not put safety pins for STIM. i was not completely recovered this morning and had to top at 385. this 405 did not give me any problems. >1sec hold at the bottom and boom.. up. done.
* the 45 deg sled is already maxd out so decided to do higher reps as long as i can maintain top and bottom holds/pause. no choppy kipping reps here.
** note to self - do not go apeshit volumes on straight knee calf work without building up to it. now my left VMO has muscle spasms. need to wrap this thing so it heals right.

* completed the 10x4 of 4x45+25lb on seated calf work. might add more weight again to +35lb next time. daily dynamic stretching with loaded squats (that's what i'l call it now) was not bad. im surprised that it went this fast/easy even though this is the only time i lifted today coming from almost 24hr of rest. last lift was yesterday 4pm.

* might be experiencing some sort of calf growth spurt or newbie gains. the reps were fairly easy, even with the 2x10s of 4x45lb+25lb. the 5x45lb goal appears to be doable sooner than i expected.
* squat routine feels more like some form of dynamic stretching now.

^ hopefullly the romaleos volt do come in tomorrow as planned. will definetely place an order. got my first nike from roguefitness.com
