My elbows are f****d so can’t seriously train anymore but used to hang a 25kg plate off my belt for 20 reps for 3-5 sets. 

Could be why the elbows are f#*ked mate?

Toe lifts whilst dangling a plate off your belt 

Used to have a set of coal weights and do the toe lifts with them in each hand. Works a treat, if you keep at it.

I do summat similar with a bit weight. Iv more than got there now I reckon just wanna get me definded

 

 

I used to have decent calves in my younger days.and 1 thing i have noticed over the years.

Is that calves don't fade away like other muscles.maybe it's cos we are using them constantly.

I've still got a decent step in mine but they have softened the last 1yr especially.

Give them hell mate they will be defined then.

I got a question for the guys in the know

 

what’s the pluses an negatives on spending most time just on one particular area? I got a bit of a dodgy side an can’t lift heavy or stretch me arms out with weight, so spent a lot time on me legs, I’m on them all time so decided to spend lots time on em, during that I spent even more time jus on me calves an it’s worked, I still do a few bits an bobs to make sure I’m sill getting a workout for most body but nowhere near what I doing on legs . 
 

anyways when I get to point I can lift again can I use same process of just doing one area at time rather than working whole body or each sort a couple time a week, I’d rather do say 5 or 6 sessions in area I wanna hit an maybe couple on the rest

 

will this work??

Stand on your toes and tense your calves let's have a pic of them.

Just seen this mate , 

its about the diameter of a red bull can , I like it as I can “splay” grip if I’m a bit sore for the dips and the pull up bat height is a little above my standing stretch so I can do negatives etc . 

A good frame I found lying around one day at work and acquired. It’s been outdoors at our office and we use it most weeks as a troop and it’s held together 

Some of the best equipment ive used to target specific muscle groups has been odds and sods laying about that ive " manufactured " into something......some of the contraptions ive made up with cables and pulleys to get the right angles look outright bizarre !.....my eyes lit up when i saw that bar it looks right up my street

They class it as a non essential operation as I can reduce the pain and inflammation by not doing weights or lifting anything heavy. So to them it’s a lifestyle choice that if I change can reduce my symptoms and pain .....
