I'd much rather prefer standing straight since it feels much easier to use your body's momentum when you're at an angle, but I went to my shitty gym last night which is much closer to home (Ballys). I go there when my training partner can't make it to workout at the other gym. I like this reverse pyramiding scheme. It's psychological in a sense that you just did a very heavy weight and you mentally trick yourself to think that the weight on the next set is so much lighter than it really is. Additionally, that's where I go for the mind body muscle connection and really push the TUT on my legs.

Do you use a machine to get the angled standing calf raises? My gym has donkey, seated, and standing (straight up).

When I took creatine way back in the days, when Phosphagen HP was the greatest product on earth, I always remember it helped me stay strong throughout the workout. That's the feeling I had today, although I was pist about re-aggravating the pain in my upper traps.

The strength comes first and then it's as if the body is resisting the idea of growing muscle and it takes several weeks to see an eventual change in muscle size. Thanks, I'm hoping to get to 300lbs bench by year end. Yeah, I think it’s like that for most people.

Just curious - I'm glad that the strength gains are coming for you with this strategy in any case. Is the lagging increase in muscle size a good thing for you?
