calf raises 1rm will not save

[jenb69_1999]

Hi,
I am in mesocycle 2 and have not been able to get a 1rm for the calf raises (ex 258) to stick in my workout card. I access the card through the calendar. When I go to recalculate the 1rm, I put in 15 lbs and click save. It immediately goes back to 0.

Thanks!
Jennifer

Calf raises

A calf raise is something you just can't do a 1RM test for. The nature of the exercise just doesn't work with the algorithm that is used to calculate a One Rep Max. Your body weight, reps and ability to hold on to a set of dumbbells will have more to do with the weight you use for this exercise than the strength of your calves. Just select dumbbells that you can comfortably hold for this exercise.
