house, now since yuo legs are your biggest bodypart. do you train them equally with everything else or do you lay off of them? the only reason i ask is because my shoulders are the same way. they aren't huge but they are so big that they take away from my upper pecs and my arm size all togather.

Hey House, I train my calfs once a week on leg day sometimes twice.. I walk about 4-5 miles a day at work would this hurt my calf growth? I can't seem to get them growing... I usually mix up supersets heavy and light, high rep, 10 sec rest you name it... Can you give me a calf routein to try? I am in a rut here bro....Thanks

What are your top 5 songs to lift to on your ipod right now?? I know I always get more motavated to go to the gym when I put some fresh music on mine. Just curious.

So being 9 weeks out now I'm doing the carb cycling like you recomended, cardio 7 days a week and tweaking it as I go...if and or when do I need to change anything as for the diet...just wait till I get closer to show date before worrying about it?? My abs are finally popping out by dropping my low carb days lower...but I'm looking kinda flat though, is that normal??

Man with a million questions here...also when should I cut out diet cokes?? Drinking maybe on or two a day and only water other than that....

Try training them at the end of every third workout... Get 4 sets till failure with a weight that failure is with in ten reps of a 25 set..

What up house?? I met you recently in Milltown, NJ at Musclemill. What an experience, I am really using the tips you gave me to help bring up my back. I read your article on calves and you said something about high calves. I have higher calves, and they are just not growing. I do respond to high reps like you said in your article. I want my calves to match my forearms.

My routine right now is (calf's twice a week)

smith machine calf raises
toes in 7 toes sraight 7 toes out 7 and toe raises 7
Seated calf machine 4 sets 15 reps.

Different day
leg press calf rasies
seated calf machine 4 sets 15 reps.



Any suggestions??? Again I have higher calves and basically want them to well....look like yorus. thanks.

Maybe I missed it if it was discussed but, I haven't seen you're article in MD lately. I really miss seeing you in there and hope you'll be back soon.
