calf workout

Every couple of weeks I will give you new workout to try. This week its calfs. Try this: standing calf raises, put on a weight what is about half max weight, do a flat out set 40 - 50 reps, after this first set the calfs will be screaming, let your training partner complete his set then go straight back in double the weight and go all out 15 - 20 reps if you can. Then go on to seated calfs, load it up max weight and do as many as you can, then drop a weight, keep descending the weight till you cant move it. Then go to the leg press machine, load it up max weight, put your feet on the edge of the plate (were you would but your feet), press out as many as you can squeezing hard on them toes, do as many as you can, again drop the weight all the way down... That's calfs done. At this point you should be finding it hard to walk. Limp to the counter in the gym and get that protein drink in you.

Best protein drink for after training is whey protein isolate. Its quick in the system. Good choices are Nectar, Breezer, Isopure and GN Platinum Protein.

Give it a go :)

All the best
