Snakes comments about calves combined with my current thinking about digging in harder had me tweak my calf routine. Definitely felt this one.
Superset with no rest.
Seated Calf: performed with a deep stretch at the bottom then a “double pump” at the top. After holding the top contraction, I released for about a half inch to an inch then contracted back up to the top. This double pump really pushed the contraction for me.
Donkey Calf: The Gym I’m visiting has a machine donkey calf so I took advantage of it. Otherwise I’d do these on a leg press. Went as heavy as the machine allowed then tried the double pump for the first time. Man this killed.
Calf Stretch on step block: It was here so I decided to use it. Did a real strict deep stretch on the block and held it for 20 seconds. The burn past ten was pretty bad but I tried using it as a tool to get used to the pain (per Brick’s other comments)
After 5 rounds of that I was pretty fried. The strict double pump and the block stretch really added a lot that was missing before. Have fun!
