    Excellent advice. If you have to train calves, just do one legged calf raises on a step/the stairs. Stretch them out at the bottom (small pause at maximum extension) and lift from there. No need to squeeze at the top. You’ll be reaching failure quite quickly enough and 3 sets each side is a good start. No need for equipment - save the space and money for something more useful!

      you can start by using knee jerk only, keeping feet flat on the floor, and after failure use full jumping power ;) this should give 3 sets worth of volume in single set, at least in theory.

    I started OHP in the past year and am trying to reach 225 by December. I start each OHP day with a heavy single and two triples before doing sets of 8-10. Trying to figure out how to save my elbows when doing it.

    Dr. Pakostopheles, wouldn't leg drive and the higher loads produce more mechanical tension in the eccentric on OHP compared to strict OHP?

    • @apneal
      @apneal 4 місяці тому +1

      There are no studies that imply that overloading the eccentric compared to the concentric is better for hypertrophy. There are, however, plenty of studies that show that tension in the stretched position is better for hypertrophy, which leg drive limits significantly.

    • @brandon.m
      @brandon.m 4 місяці тому +1

      This would probably fall under the Accentuated Eccentric Loading (AEL) training. Here are some quotes from a systematic review summarizing different studies:
      “AEL lead to the highest increases in muscle HT and STH.”
      “AEL lead to higher increase in STH for supine elbow extension, with no significant changes in muscle HT in both groups.”
      “AEL lead to higher increase in work capacity (REP to failure), but not muscle HT.”
      “Both protocols lead to significant increase in muscle HT and STH.”
      PMCID: PMC6950543PMID: 31817252
      Conclusions I draw: The technique you described probably does not significantly increase muscle hypertrophy compared to regular training but may have increases in strength. It could potentially lead to increases in hypertrophy, but I think considering that this form of training causes excessive fatigue, it is not worth it since you could do extra regular sets to get more volume in which is known to increase hypertrophy.

      @@VegetaPrinceOfSaiyans after taking a little while not thinking about it and coming back to it, it does seem more split than my initial impression. But, I think on a more logical basis of AEL causing more fatigue and muscle damage without strong evidence supporting it causing more muscle growth, it is probably not worth it especially considering one can get more volume in with regular sets which will probably cause more growth.

    The most common mistake on calf raises is putting too much weight and bouncing on the achilles tendons like bungee ropes. And on the seated calf raises pulling with the whole body for dear life and swinging like on a seesaw.

    I can't jerk without resting the bar on the front rack, of course I do the full OHP in strict press fashion. And push press as an accessory for OHP and jerk.
    "Doing barbell row without controlling the eccentric and doing them way too explosively" oh you too saw the guy at my gym who took the barbell from the lifting platform and laid it on the concrete floor, then smashed the living fuck out of the plates by first doing a sort of deadlift hold and then starting to bang the barbell to the concrete with back bent.

    in my experience training calfs "normal way" - 8-15 reps, 3-4 sets, twice a week, each set to failure - achieved nothing.
    don't know if "burn" approch works (decided i don't really care all that much), but why not try it, if you care.

    Gotta disagree (for me personally, maybe I'm just an outlier) on the calfs thing.
    I put my squat 9R(a few sets and I'm burnt out)M on my back and I'll push out 36 reps of calf raises for three sets without racking, repeat for three variations, and burning aside not feel my calfs worked. Slap just a bit extra on the bar, and I can barely do one rep. The weight difference between 1RM and 36RM is miniscule.
    Maybe all that rucking in my formative years has just made my calfs into repping machines.

  • @Soccasteve

    Being bent all the way over/parallel to the floor is not ideal in the barbell row though. You’re just worsening the strength curve and placing most of the tension on the upper back and not the lats or lower trap. It’s also harder on the lower back and hamstrings (which may or may not be issue depending on your split). Most bodybuilders promoting the barbell row didn’t row with a parallel back to the floor.
    Not that the parallel version is bad, it’s probably better for building up your deadlift, but if you’re wanting to build the back you’re probably better off performing it like Yates, Cutler, Coleman, etc. I’ve experimented with both and having the torso a little more upright is ideal. Somewhere between parallel and 45 degrees.

    My feeling for the push press as a variation, is that it allows me to overload the eccentric more. Probably worth having in your rotation.
    (I like behind the neck push press, as it biases the posterior delts and traps more. My anterior delts don't need any help right now.)
