Wew calf raises caught up to grip strength, I can finish a set with plus 105lbs easily, but had to tap out because my grip was weakening.
Ugh I really don't want to use straps for that. Honestly with the running I'm doing I might just want to let calf raises hang out at 100lbs until my forearms catch up, I don't have any particular need to push calves that much WRT pure lifting power.
Meanwhile I'm doing chin/pull-up sets earlier in the session so forearms are worn out, duh.
@kevingranade why the calf raises?
I feel like mine are doing more than fine just as a side effect of other movements
@jenniferplusplus I am scaling up my running and want to be a bit over-developed for shock absorption reasons. Maybe 105lbs and 12x3 sets is overkill for that, I started at bodyweight and just started climbing from there :D
I'd be fine to demote it to "also worked by", but I'm definitely not doing anything else that works the full range of motion. These are elevated with my heels dipping well under the platform.
