Does anyone know if this is effective in exhausting the calves vs just doing them with toes pointed straight ahead?
Also, I've been doing weight that I can do 20 reps with because I'm a bit shy when it comes to loading on the weight. I have a fear that my small calves will snap or something under a load where I can only do 10 to 12 sets...any comments on this? Are the calves a pretty strong muscle in general?
Thanks

changing the angle of ur toes definately works but dont change them between sets e.g dont do one set with ur toes facing straight then the next set with ur toes on a 90 degree angle.
simple stick to the toes straight thing for 4 weeks then change to the angled toes for the next 4 weeks. dont change between sets though cos that wud be like doing a set of bench press followed by a set of incine bench press.
u need to start packing on more weight my friend. the whole reason why body for life is so successful is the high point. the purpose of it is to lift weights to failure. lifting weights were u cud easily do 20 reps just isnt gonna make ur muscles grow
