EM - Calf work...I hate it lol. I figure that they will grow enough with squatting. I also don't think they will increase my strength by much anyway. A little off topic..but I noticed runners have the largest calves lol. It seems that the people that do calf work in the gym...they've probably been doing them forever and their calves are still tiny.

JDid - I like that logic! haha

Glad - You've experienced 8% or at least close to it, so I'll shoot for that then. But only a couple more pounds of fat loss after that and I'd be down to 6%

most runners I see are scrawny fucks with less muscle than a squat rack curler lol

apart from the spinters, in that case yeah they usually do have big calves...

Comments: Weighed in at 193 this morning. Calories still 2000-2500. I'm going to cut my carb meals down a little..Each one is ~600kcal. I'm stoked that my strength isn't going down or at least isn't noticeable..had to see with 225 bench lol. Getting the bar off the rack is getting harder, but repping it out is still just as easy. Could've gotten 5. I was going to take progress pics today but my g/f was in class (she has a camera). No symptoms of overreaching yet.

One last note - My cardio is getting MUCH better. On my off days I do a circuit of 5x10 pushups/inverted rows/bodyweight squats in my dorm.

For some reason the runner's calves at my school look almost like these: http://images.quickblogcast.com/6/5/5/9/3/148884-139556/calves.jpg But yeah I guess you're right, elsewhere I see recreational runners, they are tiny.

Lol I wish I had calves like the guy on the right in that pic...

you know what you could do for calves is start riding ur bike HIIT style. bikers have huge calves. 6 - 8% would be shredded as fuck good luck

or walking fast on the treadmill at a high incline, I did that a few time and it kills your calves and gets them pumped up, when I cut some weight I will probably use incline treadmill as a main cardio...

Comments: Finally overreaching lol. I'm going to deload all next week. Back was a little sore from Tuesday's squatting. Press was pretty difficult probably from having to clean it from the floor. When I do cleans and high rep squatting I get tension headaches that usually go away or are prevented with stretching..dunno why I had one today.

Comments: Lower back aching. Next week is deload! Weights were starting to get heavy/hard too. Took some pictures... I had some issues with the flashing and I took them by myself so I couldn't take same poses as before. Also different lighting/camera. When I get back to my parent's house I'll take some more which will look more like the first few.
