.
Back at ya with another 6/12/20 for the lower body. This time the victim is CALVES. Give it a try and let us know what you think!

Where high levels of of muscular tension meets metabolic fatigue AKA big gains 💥💥💪🏻
.
No rest between exercises⬇️
A1) Standing calf raise - 6 reps
A2) Seated calf press - 12 reps

⭕️Thieves of Muscular Tension Pt. 2⭕️
.
Check out our last post for pt. 1!
.
Another common thief of muscular tension is the misunderstanding of gravity and how it affects tension within an exercise.
.
Here are 6 examples of exercises that are commonly misunderstood when it comes to gravity and tenison:
.
- Lying DB tricep extensions (neutral grip): Tension is lost in triceps when DBs travel too far forward
- Lying DB chest flyes: Due to gravity, tension is lost as the weights cross the shoulder line at the top of the movement
- Standing DB lateral raises: Delts lose tension as hands come down and cross the shoulder line at the bottom of the movement
- Back squat: Tension is lost as hips thrust forward at the top
- Scott curl: Biceps lose tension when the full ROM is used at the top and the weight is brought past the elbow line
- Walking lunges: Tension in quads is lost when standing up fully (and pausing) in between reps

⭕️Thieves of Muscular Tension Pt. 1⭕️
.
When it comes to body recomposition (fat loss or hypertrophy) we are strong advocates of using focused and deliberate tension (or ‘TUT’) as one of the BEST tools to accomplish this. It’s crucial to avoid these ‘thieves’ of muscular tension in order to reach your goals:
.
**Quick disclainer: there is certainly a time and a place for faster reps and explosive movements, but today we are speaking of the best tools we use for body composition changes in particular**
.
Thief #1 : Having no eccentric control during a movement. Ex. dropping a BB from the top of a deadlift
Thief #2 : Bouncing in the bottom of reps. Ex. Bouncing the bar on your chest at the bottom of a bench press
Thief #3 : Rushing through the concentric (lifting) portion. Ex. Rushing the concentric during bent over rows
Thief #4 : Using momentum (body English) to complete reps. Ex. Swinging your body in order to bring up the BB during a bicep curl
Thief #5 : Fatigue - speeding up the reps, using partial reps, and/or pausing intra-set. Ex. Speeding up pendulum squat reps, only using partial ROM, and/or resing in between reps
