SSalexss'S 102 sets

[notpuff]

I have done 10 sets of calves before and felt fine, everybody varies

maybe ill do wrists instead ,anybody got any objections to that ?

Even worse IMHO.

GL with whatever you do.

The thing I'm most interested about is how doing calf raises will FEEL 1 week after. Tell me if it feels a lot easier. I have a feeling the body might adapt positively to such gross overload.

actually, that makes sense... I would guess that the body would make an adaptation to calf raises after something like this, which could be good or bad, depending on your views.

do 100 sets of deadlifts. Works wrists much more (and entire back complex). Do 100 sets of deadlifts and build it enough to land a boeing 767 on it.

Hey, SSAlexSS... still waiting on those pictures of your massive arms from your 102 set day!

Notpuff, you do realize that there is a big difference between 10 sets of calfs and 100 sets of calfs. Here's what I think, Yesterday I worked at a "tireday" where people can bring in old tires and this place would take them off their hands for free. Well, the tires varied from 200+lb. tractor tires, to little car tires... but each one was still at least 25lb+... there were 7 of us, and we unloaded & then loaded in a semi-truck over 5,000 tires... we had to touch each tire at about 3 times...
I figured I lifted at least 1,000 tires (AT LEAST) they varied in weight, but I figured by the end of the day I had done close to 100 sets if I had been lifting...
I'm pretty damn sore all over today, mostly my sholders from lifting the tires into the semi... & my back and arms from getting them out of the trucks & cars...
I'll let you know if I see any difference this next week in any of my exersizes... But I seriously doubt it! My guess is I'm worthless this week for lifting b/c I'm gonna be so burnt out!!!
This is about as close as I'll get to trying anywhere near 100 sets of anything!

100 sets of deads?

I'll give you my car if you could do 20 sets

You need to stop posting and start reading/learning more

Umm.......

100 sets for 1 body part? 100 sets a week is too much for me.......

Here's what I've concluded. When you lift, you destroy muscle fibers and waste fills the muscles that are worked. That waste is called Lactic Acid. When you fail to lift something, it's not because you've used ALL of your muscle fibers. You have used up a lot of them, but definitely not all. Lactic acid fills the muscle making it impossible for the muscles to contract. Sure, I could do 100 sets of calf raises if I used like 50 pounds for my load. Screw that 100 set crap. You will not get any results, if anything you will damage your muscle. I really hope that the first poster of this topic was kidding.......oh for God's sake please be kidding! Who's posting this 100 set workout crap on here?

Let me say this:

The body DOES adapt to excessive work. Sure it's overtraining, but if they guy takes 1-2 weeks of completely after this his body MIGHT react favorably.

Our bodies are not that weak.
