Heaps of this exercise:

Stand on the edge of a step or curb or whatever and stretch you calves by lowering your body then contract them and raise your body thru the calves full range of motion. It probably has a name - looked it up, calf raises. Do it every day, repeatedly, thru every possible range of motion, repeatedly, for years.

Repeatedy.

Someone told me about it in about year nine and I've probably done it ever since.

Do it all the time as part of your everyday life, not just as part of your exercise routine.

Its not just a standard calf raise tho. You let your calf stretch to begin with like a PNF exercise and only use your body weight not any extra like the weight lifting version.

Yeah lol I did 50 a day with the eccentric lowering, when coming back from my ankle.

It was just a loading issues, I had an intense session back without pre loading lol

For mine those wondering whether a home gym is the go or joining a gym. I've found if you get yourself into a routine joining a gym is the best way to achieve your goals. It becomes the FIVE hours a week you put aside for yourself, your time. Maybe if ya lucky you'll get a smile from the fairer sex and not drop your weights on your foot. Not cool peeps.

Be proud and ****ing go for it !!

Thats right! Being addicted to the routine is the best, as it comes naturally, like putting on your seat belt. Gym comes entrenched into your life

Even if it’s 30mins-1 hour 4x times a week

Okay since we are going into another lockdown, let’s all try something new! Or taking on a challenge!

Examples: calisthenics, yoga, 5k, meditation

I’m going to be doing the 5k! Lockdowns suck but we have to turn this into a positive, it’s a chance for us to overcome adversity and build our resilience!

The few days will be a grind for some but if you keep pushing you’re going to feel so good coming out of the lockdown. But you’ll thank yourself.

Bought some weights off Amazon during the last lockdown (thanks to some advice from TAO) and now I'm ready to go for this new lockdown.

ELDOA method i find is great for back and neck pain - it's tedious but it has worked for me, just have to be disciplined.


the iron neck machine thing i've heard is excellent too, though haven't tried it yet

Today I overcame my fear of doing bench press with a barbell, I always felt my upper body was too weak to do it. The barbell moved like butter lol but I struggled with 30kg probs should have gone to 25kg

Good job.

My best lift for barbell bench press was 137.5kg. That was...terrifying, even with a spotter. You'll be fine with those weights, just try to pull up a rep short if you're concerned.

That's a serious lift man. Well done

That's the spirit rig pics are in December remember The BF beefcake covid-calendar to be released for January. I do prefer the gym but working out at home during covid lockdowns is might fine. Whack on some tunes and remember to track your gains or losses, it's actually important.

I've upped all my weights by five kilo's recently and I'm boody proud of that.

Well, got my 3 days in a row at the gym

I'm guessing some long walks over the weekend to maintain.

Wowee you must have big boobies heheh

I had 2 s&c interns with me HAHAH lucky the boys were still on the track because it was embarrassing.

I had to super set it with a Cossack squat, those are the WORST

Thanks bro, and good job back at you. Was always strong on deadlifts and bench, but squats were my proportionately worst lift. Anyway I'm nowhere near it these days I suspect but have a lot more stability and mobility.

My best strength gains came through using a Daily Undulating Periodization approach. Lots of frequency but that's when my body responded. Sometimes for pushing big weights your nervous system is as important as your muscles.

A fair percentage of these sound like obscure sexual positions.

There's a joke in there about every position being obscure...
