wow. did you remember the calf sets or do you write it down as you go?
Usually i post right after i get home from the gym and in my mind i had planned to do 8 sets with 170lbs, i put alot a thought in to my workouts, having a sick memory helps too

They hurt alot and I did 45minutes of cardio today and yesterday fast walk and inclined
I'm having no mercy for them now, once a week it's all hell for them and barefoot.

I need that kind of attitude. Lately I've been slacking with calves. I just started a new routine and I am hitting them once a week now. So far seated raises for 50 total reps rest paused, but next week I'm going up to 75 reps. I might hit some standing raises for low reps on another day. Just trying to figure out when best to fit them in.
The seated raises are more painful IMHO and give me the sickest doms ever, much respect for those because once i couldn't walk for days and had to lay off from work. I feel that calf and hams go well together specially the leg curl on a decent machine and rest paused.
My girl said that my calves are much better now.
Heavy leg curls will make you calves hurt lol. I've been getting minor calf doms from DLs too.
I'm thinking about hitting standing calves on Saturday with cardio and abs. I train seated with legs on Tuesday so that gives me a little break in between. I've been reading that seated is best done for high reps while standing for low reps and more sets. I'm going to try this out. In the past I've done the opposite.
Yes the soleus it's mostly composed by slow-twitch fybers so it's better to be done for high reps, the gastrocnemius it's more on the fast-twitch side that's why i do them around 12 or less reps per set.
