What is the difference between having your toes elevated on a box as opposed to just having the feet on the ground in plantar-flexion phase?.

More ROM. With your toes elevated, the starting point of the rep can begin in dorsiflexion as opposed to a neutral position (defined here as soles of feet being parallel to the floor) if you don't have them elevated.


Btw, did calf raises today for the first time in 2 years. WOWWW I miss them! With my toes elevated, of course ;)

What volume and reps per set?

He looks like he's having a pretty big butt, but other than that, if I were to see him in the street or whatever, and told to guess his VJ, I'd say 24 inches or so. There's no indication he should be jumping like that.

That's crazy, considering the ball looks damn slippery and there's dust all over the place. How tall is the rim?

Seated iso calf raise? That pretty much trains the soleus...

You'd be better off using Lance's iso hold while also staying on your toes.

Yeah, the gym owners wouldn't mind me go over there with saw horses.

The thing is, I have a squat rack but the safeties are too high for me to full squat... it messes everything up since I always have to think "don't hit the supports" and my squat suffers immensly.

5967
Yeah, I'm going with low rep sets and a high rep set at the end.

5968
When you squat in the low bar position the bar just presses (at least for me) hard into the hands. If you fail a rep, and are outside the squat cage, how do you unload the bar? How do you get outta there? I'm talking no spotter.

Because with the low bar, there's no space but down for the bar to slide and if that happens, it could catch your arms/elbows and pull you down.

That's more of a hip flexor iso

Full squatted 220lbs 10 times today, also deadlifted 352 lbs (ties :personal-record:).
