So how much can you fags lift on the standing calf machine? Also

A lot, but the shoulder pads were pressing on the seams of my t-shirt and popping a straight line of blood vessels in my shoulders.

I just grab heavy dumbbells and do calf raises that way. Better for grip strength and stability anyway.

I've heard that calves should always be trained low weight high rep as opposed to high weight low rep is that true?

Wtf did that pose actual health risk or was it just gross looking?

It just looked bad, would usually go away in a few days. I'd rather change my lift than find new shirts.

300 pounds

I know it seems impressive but no one really gives a shit about calves

do you stand on something to do calf raises? or just off the ground

There's a weird calf raise machine at my gym. Goes from 50-280 or something. I can set it to 280 and do a few reps. But it doesn't seem to matter whether I do 100lbs or 200lbs, I can knock out reps like crazy, and tire around 12-15. For 25+ reps I have to do like 75lbs or less. The mechanics of the machine must take the weight somehow

The whole stack of 500 pounds for 10 reps.
I usually stick to 400 for 15 reps with better form and greater rom though.
Doesn't really matter, I got my massive calves from being and ex-obese anyways.

I have the same issue with anything that has shoulder pads. Just nasty red lines anywhere the pads rested on.

the one at my gym isn't normal you add free weight pl8s to pegs

I did 610 for 4x10 for the lolz

Any time I work out my calves, that night I get a massive cramp in my left calf that makes me wake up screaming in pain. I warm up, I stretch afterwards, I get plenty of potassium and water. I just don't work out calves anymore. A couple times the muscles spasmed so hard they actually tore and I was limping for a few days after.
