What's A?

 

Also ain't you learned nothing from julian. Don't do Calves after you do legs. They burnt out and you're wasting your time. Do them after you do upper while they are fresh

 

Calves argh legz.

Better to burn out, than to fade away.

 

I do 2 uppers and 2 lowers per week...I call my first upper and lower days "a" days and my second "b" days...i dunno why

Not the worst idea I've ever heard...even though Julian's a fuqboi

 

If you wanna train your calves fresh then you gotta do them right outta bed in the mornings, noobs. Y'all wasting your time and it shows.

 

That's like saying you shouldn't do leg extensions after squats since your quads are tired.

 

False

You're a fuqboi

Wut

High rep leg day today.

 

27 minute sets of shake weight, 240 reps per minute, high intensity.


Beat that rookies.

 

but srs - doing leg ext after squats is different. That's like hitting cable flys after bench press. You are doing the complex movement followed by the isolation. Doing calves after you crush legs for an hour is pointless. You aren't going to go and crush back day for an hour and then burn out your biceps. That's dumb

whats b?

 

Does it give you change for the cab ride home when the workout is finished?

 

Yeah the deluxe model Alpha 3000 Plus does.

 

What about almost every split ever that has you doing bacnknbis and chestntris?

Don't get me wrong, I think the hitting calves on upper day is a good idea, but I don't see anything wrong with hitting triceps after 45 mins of chest or biceps 45 mins after back.

 

I'm trying to figure this out as well. Now I will say this "almost" every chest excersize does utilize your tricep as well and "almost" every back excercise utilizes your biceps. I see difference between chest and legs but you know.

 

@ThunderCookies doesnt even lift

 

You can work your calves several days a week... y'all should probably do them daily ha

 

Excuse me???!!!?!?! Biggest calves in the house and I hate them lol

 

I try to do mine at least 3 times a week

 

You can do calves every day. You're working then all the time when you walk. Doesn't matter if you do them after legs or after chest.
