Training Day Three Hundred Twenty Two

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.
