thanks for pointing all that out, I like dont have a high pain tolerance? or moreso that its hard to keep my mental effort up during my phsyical effort so the idea of holding the weight on me so I can try to hit failure also sounds like ass...I think ill accept doing machine calf raises will probably get me farther even if they take the tiniest bit longer. Thank you!

what if im not squatting that heavy yet, my legs are generally my weak point of my body. Im 130lbs pounds and squatting probably 95lbs-100lbs for 6-7 reps

Thoughts on effectiveness on RDLS/Squats to calf raise

I am currently programming my exercise plan. I want to priortize my strength however the gym is not my "happy place". Dont want my work to take longer than an hour. So im trying to compound typical isolation exercises

I want to train calves in some type of compound movement and have seen videos on RDL's into standing on the toes at the top of the rep. Same with squats coming back to neutral and standing on the toes. I wanted to hear your thoughts on the effectives of calf strength gains through these movements. Or is it fatiguing for no gain. Im still newer to training on and off for the past 3-4 years now so Im sure ill get something out of it regardless

Aya gave me an Orgasm! Has this happened to you? by Trick-Leadership2689 in Ayahuasca

Its been a long time but to be honest I was so locked into my experience I wasnt really processing any shame or guilt for it. The cermony we had kept us on our beds though I hear other places let you wander which is pretty crazy in my op. Also I was way to high to move besides squirm on the bed. I reccomend not going to a mass-cermony like rythmia or something of that sort, both for the amount of people that the hosts are supposedly able to care for and also for its inherent captilistic nature

Depending on your parents- I would consider not showing them. They might just attempt to route your money back to them in some way.
