for me, the problem with doing calves at home, is not the 'block', as stairs with sandpaper glued on work fine for me.

its the weight! how do you hold/strap or otherwise attach enough needed weight?

i use a dogleash hanging over my shoulders that is clipped to the handle of a 5gallon paint bucket filled with water. to this i can add a 25lb plate on top of the lid, but that is about max for this system...

i have thouight about using a dip belt, but dont know if i could get anymore weight on it than i use already...
