Well, with that I can agree. So I get that you're not doing this consistently? Just as a benchmark every now and then?

Another problem I have with very heavy weights in the calf raise is that FOR ME - I never end up as extended as I possibly could when I use those heavy weights vs. light weights. And I feel like getting into full extension is the most important part of this calf raising movement...

But hey, maybe just the excentric part of the lift and the overload that happens there using a very heavy weight is a good idea too.

Well, the reason is simple. The ROM is way too short for the calf raises compared to squats and deadlift. If you were to time the total TUT for 5 reps of squats, 5 reps of deadlifts and 5 reps of calf raises, then the TUT of the calf raises would be very short. So you must compensate for that with more reps.

Plus they're a stubborn muscle group that need a ton of volume to grow.

Of course you have to hold it snatch-grip wide for the bar to rest at the hip crease. That's what the snatch grip IS for.

The jumping position in the clean is much lower than the hip crease, kinda in the middle of the femur or even lower, just above the knees.

You should film the cleans and see what happens.

Drink tons of water the next day after you drink too much alcohol.

I never gotten drunk in my life. Don't see the point of it.

thanks for the advice, bro.

I know that point from a anathomy/physiology course that I've taken... for example the head pain you get after getting drunk is not the neurons, it's the glial cells/the blood vessels that generate it. And that is from the dehydration that that much alcohol did.
