Skipping rope and heavy calf raises (1.5+ x your body weight).
Dumb question, but I'm dumb about this stuff. Say I weigh 175. I should include my own body's weight in that, correct? So If I do calf raises with a 45 lb dumbbell in each hand, that should cover me, right? I don't need 1.5x my body weight in weights plus my own body weight? Like yesterday, I did 3x40 calf raises with 200 lbs of weight plus my body weight. By the end, my calves are jello, and the arches of my feet are on fire (I'm not sure if the arches thing is supposed to happen). Do I need to be targeting 260 lbs worth of weight plus my body weight?
FTR, I've been gradually building this up over the past few months. I started with no weights. I have not noticed too much size increase, but I have noticed a much more toned look. I have bird wrists and ankles, so I'm not sure how big my forearms and calves can get.
