Just read through your journal, hell of a journey!
Have you tried zercher squats? They can hurt your elbows but I
use a jumper wrapped up for support (or you could use sleeves if
you're not a tight C!"T like me). I do them off a rack

Good news on the wrist mate, hopefully only onwards and upwards
from here on.

Calf Wars
Trying to put a shitty 9 months behind me and do something about
my skinny fat physique that I have reacquired.
I think I have enough strength in my wrist to be able to push
hard enough to build what little muscle I used to have.
Training around a limited range of right wrist movement and a
left index finger that won’t fully open or grip my plan is the
following.
4 Day split.
Each muscle group hit twice a week.
One day more strength hypertrophy range
One day more traditional hypertrophy range.
Monday pull hypertrophy
3-4 sets 10-12 lat pull downs
3-4 sets 10-12 cable row
3 sets 10-12 dB hammer curls
3-4 sets 12-15 squats
Wednesday strength push
4 sets 6-8 flat BB Bench
4 sets 6-8 incline DB bench
2 sets of 12-15 cable side lateral raise
2-3 sets 12-15 Tri overhead extensions
Thursday Strength Pull
4 sets of 6-8 Tbdl
4 sets 6-8 weighted pull-ups
4 sets 6-8 Bors
2-3 sets 12-15 preacher curls
Sunday Hypertrophy Push
3-4 sets of 10-12 reps for incline DB Chest press
3-4 sets 10-12 dips.
3 sets 10-12 DB shoulder press
2-3 sets of 12-15 cable lateral deltoid raises
2-3 sets of 10-12 rope pull downs
Of course though, this is Calf Wars[b][/b]
Stubborn little feekers to grow as we all know. As I’m entering
into a sustained period of eating in a calorie surplus I want to
try something to see some growth.
The plan
Every training session 4 x week
2 sets of 20-25 reps standing calf raise on two 20kg plates
holding dumbbells.
After x weeks do the same 7 days a week
After another x weeks do the same twice a day 7 days a week.
Measurements will be taken before and after.

Life is too short to waste time hoping your calves will grow

You’ll both be chocking on your words when I’m rocking 20 inch
calves

Will be an interesting experiment for sure!
I have a tendency to roll outwards with the ankles during calf
raises which I think most do. You should ensure you are rocking
on the balls of your feet and keeping ankles straight. Rom will
be reduced but you will also activate the large muscle at the
top more, even more so if you do the standing variety. As
recommended by me with 4 inch calves lol.
Good luck mate!
