Title: i call bullshit
Post by: Kegdrainer on June 26, 2007, 07:49:14 PM
In the may 07 flex, theres an article on calf training that features James "flex" lewis.  It states his calf workout that he does...
it lists 3 rotations, that he repeats 3 times...then does the first rotation over again for a total of 10 rotations...in 25 minutes.  I calculated it out, and it came out to a whopping 5085 reps for all the exercises, which would be 203.5 reps per minute.

Something is fishy about that.   I call bullshit.  Check it out on page 202 of May 2007 flex and see for yourself this ridiculous claim

i think i fatfingered my calculator.   i did the numbers again just to double check, and it looks like its really only 2655 reps (only hahahaha) and that comes out to a more reasonable (yeah right) 106.2 reps per minute.  Those must be real quality reps.

what does it matter what de does for his calves? even if he did nothing for them, they would probably still look exactly like they do!!

he did the routine on fitshow and i have to admit i did try it for some time and it was a killer workout....but didnt had too much gains, went totally different, doing just 1 or 2 sets, fewer reps very slow, is workout for me. The guy has great calves genetics

I've done the Max_Rep calve routine once or twice a week for a couple of weeks (or rather four or five workouts), I've put on 5/8 inch (1.5 cm's).

Haven't been training calves for a year or so before though. But still, the best progress I've ever seen in calves training.

Will try it for at least one more month, then evaluate.

So your saying "106.2 reps per minute"?

Gotta agree that this is a bunch of BS, but then again, somehting has always seemed a little strange about this James "Flex" Lewis guy.

Was that the all day calve routine where you eat nothing but steak and do calve raises all day?

??? strange, i work out at koloseum and everytime Flex has been there he has said Hi and several times when I was leaving he'd just start talking, very personable in my experience. I'm not sure about autographs or pics for sale,I wouldn't buy shit anyways, but I never had any problem with him being rude or cocky.

I just asked her, she said free for the first one, after your hooked it's $50 a pop :-\

I'm sure you could get elmaryachi to do it free, I would pay $50 for that, she eats alot of asparagus :-X
