    Am I going too hard on my calves?

    Posted: 02 Apr 2020 10:44 PM PDT

    I'm 15(M), 5'10 and weigh 140. I had been lifting for the past few months but my school closed and the weight room with it.

    I usually do 3 sets of calf raises to failure, sometimes with single leg raises for around 10 reps thrown in between. I usually do this 4 times a week.

    I have seen growth in my calves but they're sore more often then they're not. Nothing else I train is ever that sore so I'm wondering if I cut back a bit will I be better off? It's not so terrible that can't deal with it, I'm just wondering if I'm overtraining them a bit.

    Physique Phriday

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 03:04 AM PDT

    Welcome to the Physique Phriday thread

    What's the point of having people guess your body fat? Nevermind that it's the most inaccurate method available, (read: most likely way wrong - see here) you're still just putting an arbitrary number to the body you have. Despite people's claim that they are shooting for a number, they're really shooting for look - like a six pack.

    So let's stopping mucking around with trivialities and get to the heart of the matter. This thread shall serve two purposes:

    1. Physique critiques. Post some pics and ask about muscles or body parts you need to work on. Or specifically ask about a lagging body part and what exercises worked for others.
    2. An outlet for people that want to show off their efforts that would otherwise be removed due to Rule 4, and

    Let's keep things civil, don't be a creep, and adhere to Rule 1. This isn't a thread to announce what you find attractive in a mate. Please use the report function for any comments that are out of line.

    So phittit, what's your physique pheel like this phriday?

    Front splits: any tips on back leg?

    Posted: 03 Apr 2020 01:34 AM PDT

    So I am working on stretching exercises during my confinement time and I got back into my front splits. I feel the front leg is responding a lot to the training but I am not seeing the same improvement on my back leg. Any tips on getting the bag left stretching for front splits? Tks in advance :)
