I would guess that everything in Lee's house is smaller than the average person's.. sorta like those troll creatures in lord of the rings.

he would have been such a great jockey if he would have gave the juice to the horses like he was supposed to, rather than taking it himself.

Never more than twice per week. Typically, heavier weight (6-10 reps) low volume.

I can't imagine what meeting a pro or seeing one in real life must be like. I'll just have to go knock on ronnies door one day or something.

I hit my calves twice a week with my legs. Standing calf raises is the ultimate mass builder.
Title: Re: Times a week to hit...
Post by: Jr. Yates on July 07, 2006, 05:51:38 PM
Yes standing calf raises definatly helped me put on some size but I get a much bigger burn from seated.

best way to build calves is using hit method  8)

Post by: triple_pickle on July 07, 2006, 07:41:42 PM
i got best results from drop sets.

me too. and superset drop sets.
Title: Re: Times a week to hit...
Post by: NoCalBbEr on July 10, 2006, 10:45:45 PM
once a week, after legs. i give it everything i got with some  heavy weight but about 15-20 reps.
Title: Re: Times a week to hit...
Post by: candidate2025 on July 10, 2006, 10:52:23 PM
hit them as often as they feel recovered.  most of the time its every other day..but sometimes they stay sore for a couple of days.
Title: Re: Times a week to hit...
Post by: GoneAway on July 11, 2006, 06:56:59 AM
me too. and superset drop sets.

I tried drop sets a few times with Standing Calf Raise and got a burn in my ankles. Is that normal? Never really got a great feel in the contraction doing that movement, but taking an extra flex at the top helped, for anyone who feels they aren't getting full flex.
Title: Re: Times a week to hit...
Post by: blondmusclhunk on July 11, 2006, 08:22:43 AM
Once a week normally.  Every few months I will go a month and do twice a day.
Title: Re: Times a week to hit...
Post by: lilwoday09smb on July 11, 2006, 09:04:33 AM
twice a week. 4 sets of standing, 15-25 reps, 4 sets of seated 20-30 reps. heavy weight
Title: Re: Times a week to hit...
