Well, the reason is simple. The ROM is way too short for the calf raises compared to squats and deadlift. If you were to time the total TUT for 5 reps of squats, 5 reps of deadlifts and 5 reps of calf raises, then the TUT of the calf raises would be very short. So you must compensate for that with more reps.

Plus they're a stubborn muscle group that need a ton of volume to grow.

Of course you have to hold it snatch-grip wide for the bar to rest at the hip crease. That's what the snatch grip IS for.

The jumping position in the clean is much lower than the hip crease, kinda in the middle of the femur or even lower, just above the knees.

You should film the cleans and see what happens.

Drink tons of water the next day after you drink too much alcohol.

I never gotten drunk in my life. Don't see the point of it.

thanks for the advice, bro.

I know that point from a anathomy/physiology course that I've taken... for example the head pain you get after getting drunk is not the neurons, it's the glial cells/the blood vessels that generate it. And that is from the dehydration that that much alcohol did.

To me... the thing about entropy was never about strength, it was about "nerve". Like I've said it over and over again... whenever he does stuff on the field I'm like "is this guy going to get to bed in the next few seconds to sleep or something?"

Meaning - he looks like he has NO desire to jump, run, do explosive stuff. Just put a bar on his back and move it with slow speeds, that's all he cares about.

That's the impression I personally get from him. So... IMO, the best possible thing for him, by far, would be to do as fast movements as possible - beginning with sprinting and going with multi-response jumps like hurdle jumps etc. I have to emphasize the multi-response thing because I believe that if he'd go with single-response stuff he'd be as slow and lazy looking as he's always been.

I don't get how in the world he thinks he should continue with this slow lifting and training when he's not able to express in quick manner even a decent amount of percentage from the power that his strength says he should be capable of producing.
