SKELETAL MUSCLES are muscles that are voluntary, ie attach to the skeleton allowing for movement. These muscles include but are not limited to muscles such as the bicep and tricep, trapezius, latissimus dorsi, etc.

CARDIAC MUSCLE is involuntary and is found in one and only one place in the body: the heart.

understand?

I knew it before you stated anything. The only thing you have taught me is some insight into your personality.

jeez man, sorry if i hurt your feelings... im just pointing out the facts to you..can you just say oopsy and not get upset?

Jackal, I would think that since most people are on gear, most people can EASILY get away with 5 days/week of calves. I didnt state SLAMMING calves 5 days/week. I stated hitting them hard with many sets and reps on leg days, and the other 4 days/week go with 6-8 sets. Many if your calves cant handle 6-8 reps/ed then you better sit in your lazy boy and hope you dont run into stairs anytime throughout the day. LMAOOOOOOO And Arnold being on MASSIVE amounts of steriods??????? What do you PERSONALLYYYYYY know about how many mgs/week he was taking? I personally would think was taking MUCH less then some of the people do now a days. Maybe do a little more experimenting in the gym and a little less reading and maybe you will find more ways to shock your body to grow. Just my observation of what your throwing out in the post. PEACE! KIR

If you knew anything about me, which you do not, you would know that I do admit when I am wrong. Let me make it simpler for you by making a similar comment dealing with another topic:

A Volvo is capable of taking high stress--perhaps more than any other automobile. (Not counting pickups, etc.)

Does that make it clearer?

One more thing. I love how a high school senior with shit for experience is coming in here telling me with more years of weight lifting and gear experience then he has been living that Im wrong about how to train calves......lmaoooooo Just an observation. PEACE! KIR

[pencilneck]

KIR, behave now. Remember, you're just a newbie here with all those years of experience. Dang! I'm going to love this place.

[pencilneck]

JACKAL, calves are my forte. The best thing to remember is strict form. Regardless your choice of sets, reps., etc. Form is paramount, bro. If you're not wincing from pain on you last rep of any set you're doing with calves, then you're not doing strict enough form. I count 5 secs. during both adduction and abduction. Get the burn in the calves so you have to walk out of the gym as though you just crapped your pants. That's working your calves, bro. Pneck

[KeepinItReal]

LOL Pneck, these kids bro. And I got news for you Pneck.... come look at my calves now bro. LOL I will take a digi pic soon and send to you bro. Gonna blow your mind. LOL Are you calling me today or what bro? I got some good time to talk, well after I buy my new snowblower. Mrs. KIR's Christmas gift to me. LOL Kinda like buying a wife a washing machine for Christmas huh? LOL Oh well, I wanted it. PEACE! KIR

[pencilneck]

KIR, thanks for chatting today. You're going to get that 600lb. bench yet. Hey, a snowblower ROCS! Man, I remember the day living back in WI. No thanks. I've shoveled my driveway x2 in 5 years since in OK.

Ya... send the pics of the calves. I need to see where mine are at in comparison. Thanks. Send them to [email protected] though.

The only thing that has ever worked for me is a Super Drop Set I read on BB'ing.com it was posted by Ciups over there I believe. Do a search it absolutely killed me and I have seen results. I do it every other "calf day" and go with a standard workout the other days (I was doing 2 calf days a week (by the way))
