Wk1: Prilepin Calves

Yes, you heard right. I've always done them with lots of reps, so I thought I'd try something different.

First, I had to test for a new max. Nailed 125 lbs on the standing calf raise on a Smith machine, a 15 lbs PR. Ok, now calves aren't necessarily on a powerlifter's short list of exercises. But since I like basketball and jumping and running and don't want "Pipe Cleaners" to go with big quads, they will always be a part of my leg routine.

Standing Calf Raises (125): 45x6, 45x4x2, 55x4, 65x4, 75x4x5.
