Well I'm officially done my first week of the new program. Thanks Shawn. I like it. I added some ab rolls and calf raises but that's it. Calves are a tough one for me as in never feels like I'm working them even when I use a slow tempo.
The thing that confuses me somewhat is the hold stretched part. I understand on something like bench but incline curls? Do you just let them hang? Or is it at the top but that would be contracted. I don't know. Anyways, on to week 2
Glad u are liking it. With calves, slow eccentric and pause for at least 2 seconds at the bottom, up u can go faster, pause and flex at the top too.
Could be u are going to heavy, lighten it up and focus on pulling ur heels up towards ur calf.
So the stretched: say incline DB curls, complete ur last rep, lower slowly and just let them hang at the bottom until u can’t take it anymore.
Seated rows: complete last rep, slowly extend forward and hold the straight arm position as long as u can
