I normally do calves on leg day, but I feel I don’t have the energy after adding in the widowmakers to hit them correctly. So I will probably put calves on biceps day or shoulder day.

I didn’t have any energy this morning for deadlifts. 345 felt like 370. I’ve decided to lighten up on the pulldowns to get more reps and use better form. Other than that I think I’m making some decent progress. I have to keep to a routine and stick to it. That is my main problem.
