Welcome. As for calf raises standing, I would just count the weight on the bar not including your body weight. But ultimately it is up to you.

How did you manage that?

[alB5]

How did you manage that?

80lb preacher curl with full ROM. Bad idea, pulled a tendon on my pinky side of my wrist. Can't pick up anything Palm up without severe pain. I also used to wide of a grip and it was the nail in the coffin I guess.

[IronFreak]

That sounds painful.......
