Just so the moderators know….

You're holding your breath, gots ta breathe man. I've seen guys that I lifted with back in the day almost pass out and would have been in trouble if we weren't spotting.

It’s a strength sport thing. On the big ones we breath into the diaphragm to brace outward. Take a new breath at the top between reps. Otherwise you good over. That’s why you gotta add the conditioning capacity and avoid that passing out.

oddly enough it’s also the heavy overhead that triggers the passing out most of the time. Log press particularly. Or heavy front squats where the bar crushes your chest and you can’t take in a breath.

I have not measured and don’t plan on it, but I think my calves are bigger than my arms now. Y’all can pick on my arms now or something.😘

Turns out former skinny guys can actually grow calves.

I can tell that's just the knee wraps squeezing fat down from your thighs.

You'll never leave Team NoCalves.

Careful, you'll blow out your o-ring

There was this old guy who had terrible flatulence. One day his wife told him that if he kept farting like he did that he'd blow his guts out. Along comes Thanksgiving and she gets up early to prepare the turkey and gets an idea for a prank and places the turkey guts on the bed behind him. A bit later he gets up, comes downstairs and loudly proclaims: "You were right, I blew my guts out, but by the grace of god and some help from the jar of Vaseline, I was able to stuff them back in!"

On my warm-ups I can usually get 3-5 reps without breathing out for SQTs....

How u liking that Kabuki transformer bar?
 
I was born with these things. I was one of about 6-8 guys on the Pre-season Pigskin preview for the Kinston News Press the fall of 1992. I was on the end and my calf muscle showed great definition and my girl friend's mother wanted to know how I did that. I wish I had that pic to show off with.
