Is there a fucking WORSE exercise than this? Literally wanna

Nice bait OP, you sack of shit.

calf raises

>>38203648
personally I love preacher curls with an EZ bar. maybe try those.

>>38203648
haha what a fucking faggot

>>38203648
I actually agree with this.
I fucking hate curls

>>38203648
didn't know there were so many curlbros on /fit/

no wonder so many fags hate on SS here ahaha

>>38203648

Curls are mostly only useful if you're on juice or want to look like a DYEL faggot. Otherwise, squats and deadlifts will do more to build your arms than curls.

>>38203648
>>38203695
This. I started doing chin ups to specifically not do curls

Hello there Mr. Chicken Calves

>>38203732
This is what I fear.
What's a good workout to keep from becoming a bird?

>>38203732
>>38203737
This has happened to me.
Don't fall for the "you don't need to do calves, they'll get bigger with the rest of your legs" meme

I still look shit in shorts.

i love how curls fuck with my wrists.

>>38203737
leg day. Squats and leg press.

>>38203737
Leg presses, squats, deadlifts, biking on high resistance setting, calf raises.

>>38203763
>>38203759
I'm a complete idiot noob, is there a way to properly do a leg press?

>>38203778
Yeah, actually.

Big thing is ROM. Don't be some little bitch that barely bends the knee.

Second is making sure you're pushing through your heels, just like a squat.

Third is stance. I tend to suggest a bit more narrow stance than you would a squat.

>>38203648

My whole lower body.

I hate walking like a baby deer the next day from heavy squats.

>>38203737
you don't need to train calves

just bulk to 300+ lbs then cut

>>38203648
Curls give me the biggest pump. It feels like my arm is gonna ejaculate.

>>38203732
>having to train calves to get big calves
Lmao shit calf genetics detected.
Feels good to be 19.5" low insertion masterrace.

>>38203873
>Neglects training a muscle.
>KYS

>>38203898
Why the fuck would I want even bigger calves? Any bigger than they are now and they'd look freakish and out of proportion to everything

>>38203898
do you walk?
because walking builds calves.
all this time youve been neglecting cardio you've been missing out on calf gains.
for shame

>>38203648
Tricep rows
Holy shit

>>38203713
>squats build arms
Wew lad, you bought the SS meme hook, line, and sinker.

>>38205416
why is it called tricep row if it works biceps and back?

>>38203917
Are your arms 19.5 inches? I highly doubt it. So your calves and arms are out of proportion anyways.

>>38203917
Found the fatty.
Only fatties/ex fatties have fukkhueg calf muscles.

>>38203648
I know your pain OP
it's just so much effort for just one tiny muscle
but you have to do it
and do it for med delts and triceps too, and calves, otherwise you will look ridiculous
just hang in there buddy

>>38203691

not OP but these shits gave me tendonitis

never again

CURL MOTHERFUCKER, CURL!

>>38203732

how do your calves not naturally explode just from squatting? and maybe some seated leg curls?

>>38203648
what a stupid mindset
i grew out of this like a week into lifting
if you can't embrace the pain you'll go nowhere, the pain is your muscles growing

>>38203691
I've done 4pl8 zercher squats that felt better than fucking preacher curls with an EZ curl bar.

You're either a fucking lier or you just think you lift.

>>38206641
Nah, the pain is your muscles tearing apart.

That feeling of being full as fuck and sleepy, while you lie in your comfy bed? That's the feeling of muscles growing.

>>38206521
actually isolating your upper arms will make you look ridiculous in the long run. it's so obvious that you fake train at the gym when you're walking around with huge upper arms and chest but nothing else. to look strong, isolate your forearms (and calves, maybe shoulders too)

>>38203752
>410 squat
>545 deadlift
>lmao no calves because I neglected them too much

Just fuck my shit up

Serious question here, I can't seem to do curls well.

What's a good alternative for normal and hammer curls? I've tried standing, alternating and resting the elbow on the bench, but I'm not feeling it afterwards. If I use an EZ bar I get strains in my forearms.

What can I do?

>>38208245

incline curls, chin up

>>38203713
Thanks, Mehdi

>>38203648
fucking lat pulldowns
fuck that boring shit

>>38208245
I use a cable machine set to shoulder height then curl it as if I was flexing, can engage my bi more and feel it best when doing this

>>38203695

i never isolate biceps and yet its one of my best muscles.

>tfw i see all the dyels curl for half an hour
>they never see me curlin
>they hatin

>>38203648
I never feel my bicep burning or working when I do curls, I tried preacher curls and other variations but it's still the same. I feel like my arm is too tired to lift the weight up but nothing burns and I never have DOMS in my biceps.
Am I doing something wrong? I feel like I am wasting my time

>>38206699
this guys going to be one of those Herp derp isolations are the best bro

>>38209086
lift heavier

>>38203714
mfw still too fat to do more than 5 clean chin ups
