Guaranteed to get some wtf looks walking into my gym with mooring chains lol. |
Walk in all g-code wearing the chains as a necklace & keep the shades on the whole time
Been working with a new trainer lately, we've been working on getting me squatting without having to be standing on 5lb plates. I wasn't capable of squatting without my heels raising. Been doing tons of calf stretches, jumping ,knee bending, and ankle turning exercises. Tried it out today without plates and did 3 reps @ 245, it felt different, but manageable. My 3 rep max with the plates was 315, so i've got a bit to go but should be caught up in a few weeks.
For the person who asked about jumping, there's basically 2 ways to do it
* Off the balls of your feet, and using your calves. Great for calf development
* Off your heels, and using your quads. Go in the squatting position, hold for 5 seconds, jump using your heels + quads, jump onto your platform, land in squatting position, hold for 5 secs, stand up.
