Well good god thats alot!

I love traing calves, one of favorite body parts

I find it funny though that alot of females at the gym I go to dont train calves?

... They're my favorite bodypart too ... along with forearms..

But I don't go heavy... I lighten the weight and get a nyce full range of motion...

When you use 800.. do you return your weights to the tree?? *D

Peace..~G

Some of it...standing calf raises with an attachment, add 4 45's and a 2 10's.

Seated calf raises would be an itch to get loaded.

I love doing calves, but I never really bother taking pics of em, because of the tattoos.. its harder to see definition... maybe I'll try snapping em sometime soon.
