Re: Homemade calf raise machine
I would like to recommend seated calf raises, they tend to target the soleus when the knee is bent at 90 degrees, but the gastrocs will definetly get involved. For me the soleus seems to be involved...

Re: Hijack thread
I think the cat will totally rule the toast, since I don't think you mentioned that the toast was buttered when it was put upon the cat.

I know, right? But I think it'll be alright - my sons started their Zombie Defense training on the Wii last week.

Re: Hijack thread
So if you're ever in town, look me up. The Black Butte Porter on tap at the RB Smokin' Barbeque is the ambrosia salad of beers.
First round's on me.

Re: Hardest workout you've ever done?
I haven't finished one yet, and that with only 95#.
This is the only workout I haven't been able to finish....
...I quit on Linda once but finish it strong now.
Kalsu for me is a will breaker.

Re: Concept 2 Indoor Rower Model C w/ PM2

interval for 5 rounds on a Model D/ PM3 that is pre-

Re: Fractional Plates worth the money?
Okay, I got curious and looked up the prices on
the Fastenal web site; the 2" washers
are at about $3.50 apiece - so the $1.00
I quoted earlier was a slight understatement.

Re: Fractional Plates worth the money?
I bought six 2_inch I.D. washers at a place called Fastenal for $6.00. They weigh ~ 1.5 lbs.
They are well worth the price...Cheaper than a movie theater ticket, and more lasting fun.
