    Thanks y'all. I was curious if my pictures showed that much of a difference. LOL.
    Some times it is hard to see on yourself, isn't it?

    When id go down in my step ups I would place my foot all the way down on the ground instead of making the foot on the bench do all the work.
    I have no idea if I explained it right, sorry lol.

    Amazing results! I'd be over the moon! The pics are great but I find with my pics that it is best if I am in the same distance to the camera in both pics if that makes sense. I can see a difference though and your calf looks brill!

    Thank you! I have been grooving on my calves. Flexing whenever I am not in jeans, haha.
    Hubby said the same thing about distance, so I getcha.
    For my stage 2 results I will make sure to try and keep the distance similar so I can tell better.
    And again, thanks for the kind words (:
