Re: ADBB Exercise of the Day 10/30

i use to do these long ago. i would put my feet farther back a little and really stretch that calf muscle. why did i quit doing them?

i think i can add this to the ever growing list of things to do.

Re: ADBB Exercise of the Day 10/30

When Matt and I were working out together I'd always skip the calf exercises because genetically I have strong calves and they always feel tight/solid. So, I usually skip working this part.

On the otherhand, Matt's thighs are well-defined, but his calves aren't and he does these exercises (when he works out) and they work great.

Thanks for posting them!!
