In this light-hearted parody, featured BodySpace member “Madfun” has his recent blog entry read by a distinguished orator. Follow along:
“I frikken hate to train legs!But I hate the idea of having “sticks” under a well developed upper body more, so I train them. I basically vary the bulk of my work between free squats, sled machine squats, hack squats, leg exts, leg curls, and basic calf raises.
I admit I don’t train as heavy as most guys who are planning on changing tires on a 1947 Buick without a jack, but I make my share of gains. At least my legs and ass don’t look silly.
I decided to do standing calf raises a few nights ago. I hadn’t done them in god knows when, but I have been doing seated calf raises and burning the crap outta my calves!
I figured since I have been doing the seated raises, the standing raises would be just a small angle type difference and I should tear into them like I rip into every other movement. I should know better and:.
I WAS EFFING Wrong!
3 days out and I am death walks the dog. I try and take a step and it’s like someone is hitting the back of my calves with a baseball bat! Oh the humanity!
I will switch leg day around and hit legs again on Friday nite to give maximum recovery time.
Just wait till I hit that machine again!”
Who will be next?

I know what that felt like.. done it myself. What is it about calves…? yes they are small (so are delts, bis & tris!) But nothing hurts like overtrained calves..
Well at least now you know.. and standing calf raises will make those puppies grow!
happy lifting!
