    Welcome! Question, how many reps and sets are you doing for each exercise? On the calf, just make sure to keep it moving and stretch it out daily. Avoid any jumping till it's healed.

    Quick question. Is the order you have it in, the order you do it? If so, change it and do all the compound movements first. So all the rows and bench presses first, then biceps. That way you utilize your energy storage better. You're stronger at the beginning of any workout versus the end so use that energy on the larger muscles first.

    I do 3 sets of 8-10 reps. Although every set I make sure the weight is heavy enough where the last rep is almost failure so then my second set I may have to drop the weight. Yes i've been stretching frequently and doing hot tub a couple times a day with epsom salt mixed in at times.

    Yeah, I normally do the heavier lifts first. Just the way they are listed on my app, so it makes it easier to type it in that way:)

    Okay. Sounds like your program is solid so far.
