There is an obsession in this Group with labelling people "trolls",
this time for no better reason that he got his terminology wrong.
Come on Hugh, he obviously meant heel raises.
Quoted message said:What's wrong with writing "toe raises"?
Nothing, if he is aiming to exercise the anterior aspect of the lower
leg (anterior tibialis).
and the extensor digitorum longus and the peroneus tertius muscles -
all located on the front of the shin and responsible for dorsi flexion
I'd like to point out the Delavier describes a one-legged toe raise
using a DB which works the triceps surae (composed of the soleus and
gastrocnemius lateral and medial heads). He advises long sets until a
burning sensation is felt.

Quoted message said:Why do you think he is using
incorrect terminology? Delavier's Strength Training Anatomy and
Yessis' Kinesiology of Exercise describe toe raises.
I believe he meant heel raises, which is a much stronger and more
common exercise, particularly given that he was using weights to carry
out the function.
True. Light weights for the toe raise will give you a good workout.
He's using 125 lbs for the calf (or heel) raise. I'm never quite sure
what the 125 X 25 X15 logging system is supposed to represent - 25
sets of 15 reps or 15 sets of 25 reps? I much prefer this type of
recording system -
1125/15, 25 where 15 stands for the reps and 25 stands for the sets.

John Williams will have effectively done his job well if he has us all

There's more than one person here who keeps the pot simmering beneath
this insipid topic.
It appears that you too are becoming seduced by the thrall of it all
Old Man! ;o)
I'm not seduced by any type of bondage going on in this ng - unless
you want to fantasize about the Texas Rope Pull
