Workout Wednesday: Triceps and Calves

It occurred to me the other day that my calves and triceps are often neglected.  While they get worked as part of many of the workouts that I do, I very rarely focus on them.  So, I wanted to give them some love and incorporate calf raises and triceps extensions into a workout.  I guess that I could have just made a full workout of triceps and calf exercises, but that gets kind of boring.  Instead, I combined several compound exercises to create a full-body workout.  

And, since I'm into 50 reps lately (and breaking them up into several sets), I went with the 20-15-10-5 rep scheme.  It seems to work well for me because I can keep my form better throughout the whole thing.  When I'm fresh at the beginning of my workout, doing 20 reps doesn't feel like a struggle.  But by the end, sometimes there's no way that I'd be able to get out more than 5 reps.

Give it a whirl:

 Enjoy!
