Calves:Week 9

This week you’ll repeat your Week 1 workout. At this point of Shattered! for calves you should be using considerably more weight. In addition, you’ve used a variety of exercises and incorporated many different training strategies throughout the weeks since the first. Essentially, this is a brand new workout because you haven’t performed it for almost two months.

NOTES:

* Remember that you can build my Shattered! program for calves into any of the other Kaged Muscle® Trainer series—all you need to do is rearrange the days of the week on those other programs and emphasize calves as your Monday workout.

* I often like to start with seated calf raises, which targets the soleus. But they also warm up the gastrocnemius for the more intense work you’re capable of doing for this move. This week, we’ll just be hitting the soleus for 10 sets of 10 reps.

* To keep yourself hydrated consume HYDRA-CHARGE® and make certain to get in at least a gallon of water on each of your training days.

EXERCISE

COMMENT

Seated calf raises

10 Sets / 10 Reps

3 minutes of rest between sets.

TIP: The biggest progress with your weakest muscle group comes from the neck up. You have to engage your brain and truly focus on the weakness to make progress. I mean that not only in terms of the determination and discipline you bring to the program, but also to evaluating your progress.

Check out my video for detailed tips on how to perform seated calf raises, and also review my Week 1 video for additional tips for today’s workout.
