This workout was actually supposed to be carried out yesterday. However, there are two reasons for this not happening. First reason was due to the fact that I arrived home late yesterday and ha a ton of work to attend to. Seeing as I had to get up early this morning, I decided that I didn't want to just finish all the work and then simply go to bed. Hence, I postponed the workout to today. The second reason was due to my girlfriend and I celebrating 3 years together on this upcoming Friday. Since I want to stick to my regular training routine of carrying out 2-3 workouts and then have 1 day of rest, I was pretty much forced to take a day off from the gym yesterday, if I were to manage getting 2 workouts in before Friday (which I'm definitely not spending at the gym). In any case, today's workout was carried out after a morning of lectures and an afternoon/evening of work. Here we go!

# Workout Notes:
Calves are definitely a weak spot of mine. I've never really ignored training them, but, like a lot of others, I've been sloppy with their routine. In the beginning, I used to enjoy training calves. But as the rest of the body developed, the motivation to train them started to fade. However, once I started changing my routine and giving them more time, I started to see some progress. Unfortunately that stagnated after a while, at which point I changed the routine again to what it is today. This routine is a rather straining one, even though it's a short one, and it's starting to take a toll on the motivation yet again. In any case, the process will have to be evaluated, and I'll have to see where I'll go from here on.
