Taken from last back workout of the year: 2006...

Deadlift: 405 x 5 raw.

Using only a belt and some sponge.. no straps.

I use sponge instead of chalk because my hands sweat.

Couldn't use my straps because i had just gotten my new wrist tatt.

I thought you would be taller???

good job, i try to point that is stand up on my toes contracting even more, but you are getting a really good stretch on the heel drop..

Yea, i find the heel-drop to me more important. I think the calf-fascia needs a lot of stretching.. You'd note that most calf-plateau-busters involve a lot of stretching between sets. I modified my stance to allow stretching during sets... with the added flexibility i've gotten added strength and thickness. I used to go up on my toes, but could never get enough stretch on the descent. I noticed all the guys with small calves (the ones who bitched about not being able to get bigger calves) all did the tip-toe movement.

So i played around with the stance a bit... til i arrived at pressing from the ball of my foot.

The contraction i get at the top actually feels stronger than the tip-toe motion.

Try it man. *thumbsup*

Nice vids broo. :)

Wish my gym had that calf-machine.

^^Thanks buddy.

It's honestly the BEST station i've ever used honestly.

I've done a lot of improvized work since i started training 9 years back... especially when the groove of an exercise didn't 'feel right'.

This exercise is the first to 'feel right'... like 100% right.

p.s. will update with new vids when i start back training.
