1,500 lbs? No it's not. Send me a video if you can find one.Just google it. Pretty common to see heavy heavy calf raises.

1400 lbs but the leverage of the machine makes it, 1200 lbs? Normal looking guy again, I don't think he's built much under the shirt or doing much in other lifts but who knows. There's another video I haven't found yet with more weight.
Is 1200 lbs not anywhere near 1500 lbs? Or is 1000 lbs not anywhere near 1500 lbs? No way is mechanical leverage taking out more than 1/3 of the damn weight. Who is talking out of their ass now? Do you think he can deadlift 700 or squat 600? Because my point is that it's a below elite level weightlifter doing at least 1000 lb calf raises with full stretch in the heel. Calves are strong.Neither of these videos are anywhere near 1,500 lbs at the ankle and it's the absolute best you can find. Far from "easily enough".
You've been talking out of your ass this entire thread.
...Who is talking out of their ass now? ...
Thanks.
Thought experiment for the calf thing:
If you are trying to lift a log from one end, if I stand on the log directly above where you're trying to lift, do you have to live the entirety of my weight?
Yup. The weight near the back has mechanical leverage involved but not the big stack of plates directly above.
I'm defo going to get this printed on a t-shirt.diligent calf athlete

Now do you think they could reach a 2k max by training body weight calf raises to failure?With this in mind I think diligent calf athletes can reach 2k max
The thing is I completely believe that Martial Sovereign is being earnest, I like him, and I'm glad he's posting on F13 (that likely comes across as a bit condescending and patronising towards him, maybe it is...).
This thread is certainly up there in my top ten unexpectedly funny threads of the year so far.

I would genuinely love it if he proves us all wrong with his personal push-up challenge.
That it hasThread has brought the lols tho
