@asdtmr12 Start using the stopwatch on your phone between sets. I noticed myself taking 1.5hrs or sometimes more in the gym, and implemented doing this just to see if I was wasting time. I was. A lot lol. Some squat sets I was taking 7-8 min rest when I was “ready” in 3-5. 5 mins of reset...

@faithandholyspiritarethek Same. If I don’t do some type of squat motion 2x a week then it just feels off every workout. Pressing seems to be the same way. It’s like I lose a little neural adaptations or stability if I go like 7+ days without doing a movement pattern

@sammyclifnote I’m not a fan of full body splits, they aren’t as enjoyable to me so I’d probably do an ULU then LUL next week etc. or just ULU every week if legs were less of a priority. 1x a week frequency just isn’t my favorite way to train, I recover in 2-3 days at most from most muscle...

@kaieraai I had a similar issue. My feet “cramped” when doing straight legged calf raises and I had to stop the set early. Using a shoe that isn’t totally flat, like an old Nike running shoe absorbs some of the weight and helped me out especially on leg press calf raises where the weights are...

@kaieraai I’ve gained 5/8 of an inch on my arms, 1” on my thighs, but I’ve not gained a single 1/4” on my calves the past 5-months (some of it is rebuilding lost muscle from a 2week lay off). And I’ve trained them hard and often (2-3 sometimes 4x week) My calves look similar to that picture...

@jamierite74 I do a similar split and when I dabbled with high frequency calves, I did them 4x a week. Heavy on arm/delt day doing them FIRST, and at the end of each leg day for lighter reps

@jacob40524 It looks like a solid program, and I love Bromley’s work for strength stuff - but there’s just not a whole ton of muscle growth going to happen in just 9 weeks for intermediates or better. If you’re gonna use it for pure hypertrophy I’d probably run it 2-3x in a row - with minor...
