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!
