Haha, yeah you are doing more than me in terms of endurance then! Hmm. I understand, sticky and stuff, but that shouldn't keep you from working out. With weightlifting, you will get sweaty if you want to improve.
> I walk, sometimes up to about 3 hours a day, but lately about 1--1.5 hours a day. I may consider taking up jogging/running, but I don't like to get sweaty.
I stopped working out my calves. Its not that important, especially not at the beginning. Deadlifts hit calves a bit. too. It is mostly genes with calves anyway. I would describe myself as slightly above average, which means not much growth will take place there, no matter how hard I hit them!
> I use the same machine to do "toepush", straightening my ankles as if standing on my toes. I can do at least 130 kg on this, and about 30 reps, so I guess I should increase the load.
Right, until you get the technique right, you shouldn't go heavy with any of the exercises that I mentioned. Need to know what you are doing and feel comfortable with it. These are all "compound" exercises. They hit many muscles at once. That is why it can pay off to learn and use them.
Doesn't your gym have safety bars? If you don't use clamps for the weights you can let the plates fall off if you lower one side of the bar, the other side will come down then, too.
> I do benchpress, but only with 20 kg, about 20 reps. I am cautious with this exercise, because it may turn out I can't lift one more (to hang up the weight bar) and then I need assistance. I do pushups to exercise about the same muscles, and I can do about 20 reps. This is in contrast to 80+ reps in my late teens!
