Tips to maintain balance doing calf raises on a step (or something off the ground) if I have db in each hand and can't hold on to something?

All Pro’s ASBR FAQ lists the workout as follows:
Squats: warm-up, warm-up, work-set, work-set
Bench Press: warm-up, warm-up, work-set, work-set
Bent Over Row: warm-up, warm-up, work-set, work-set
Over Head Press: work-set, work-set
Stiff Legged Deadlifts: work-set, work-set
Curls: work-set, work-set
Calf Raises: work-set, work-set
Should I be doing the routine in that exact order? If I am using my 10 rep max, won’t I fail on the second work set? Should I be doing the routine like this?

from what i read in the first thread, just finish each WU & work set of every exercise, then jump to the next one and do the same. in the way you wrote, it will take very long time to finish practice, especially if your in a gym where others use the equipment as well.

The routine looks solid, all the reviews are great. But i have to ask something. I did the first day of the routine. I executed the exercises in proper form. I managed to be in the 8 reps range with the last rep always being hard to perform. Still i didn't feel very sore the next day. So are 2 work sets realy enough? Is it that i will feel the maximum soreness on the 3rd workout day of the week (since i'll be training the same muscles 3 times a week)? Thanks and good luck to your goals

Should we be going slower than usual on the negative part of the lift?

Quick question..
I'm on cycle 8 or 9 or something now now (just finished 11 rep week).. stopped counting really, but been doing this a decent while now. I've started having some trouble because I am trying to cut, which I started on around thanksgiving. I was getting great gains while bulking before, and my cut is right where I want it to be, doing almost 1.5 lb / week average.
Already took a deload on my bench, overhead press, and squat. Definitely not going to progress with the overhead at the end of this cycle, but the deadlift, row, curl, and calf raise are still going up fine. Bench & squat are still kinda up in the air, will find out on monday for my 12 rep / heavy day.
Current #'s for heavy days this cycle:
Squat: 275
Bench: 245
Row: 225
OHP: 145
Curl: 95
Deadlift: 305
Calf raise (using leg press): 720
Do I worry at all that those 3 lifts aren't really really progressing? During my bulk, I didn't end up ever having to take a deload, so this is a bit new to me. If this is just to be expected with a cut, I guess I'll continue on with what I am doing.

I'm on cycle 3, but from what I remember, I wasn't really sore until the later weeks of the first cycle. I don't really get sore on this program but it's tough when I'm lifting and I've seen some great results already. A more experienced member posted a couple pages ago that just because you aren't sore doesn't mean you aren't working the muscles. From what I've seen for myself, that's true. The first cycle was easy, especially the first 2-3 weeks.

Yeah the 8th rep was the last i could do. It was more like a reckon day to see what weights i would use. And yes i was afraid that i wont progress if i am not sore. I hope you guys are right. Its hard to get informed about bodybuilding stuff on the internet. Every expert contradicts with one another!

That's the case for more than one reason:
1. experts often have different goals. For instance, the way you would train if your goal is to lift as much weights as possible is very different from what you would do if your goal is bodybuilding; this goes for both "form" on a specific exercise, training frequency/volume, and everything in between. Unfortunately, the experts rarely make it clear which one they are talking about and often make you believe that what they are preaching is the "right way" to do things regardless of your goal.
2. one body is not equal to another. Person A might need XX to achieve a goal, while person B might require YY (or twice as much of XX) to achieve that same goal. Again, experts often don't make this clear and reading what they say can make you believe that there is some "magic formula" that will work exactly the same for everyone.
3. due to the nature of the internet, many things can be easily taken out of context, which changes the actual message the expert was trying to convey.
4. some "experts" are ignorant.
in the end, you can't really "trust" anyone. You have to understand WHY it is someone is actually telling you to do this or that, and not just do it blindly and expect results. You'll also need to experiment with various different approaches to see what YOUR body responds to best, and then follow that for as long as possible. There's no way around this, you'll have to do a lot of the work yourself before you figure out the right way for YOU. The experts should only be treated as sources of information, whicn you then use to figure out things for yourself; they should not, however, be treated as gurus that you can just follow to get where you want to get.Last edited by syncmaster913n; 01-27-2013 at 01:35 AM.
