I have only dabbled maybe visited gym 20 times in my life (and I am in my mid 40's) plus have a bench in the garage I rarely use.
I have now joined a gym (last week) and plan on making effort to go regularly.

I am genetically disproportionately large below the belt (wahey!) particularly my calf muscles. I used the calf press machine 50 reps with the max weight which wasn't that hard but when I came off the machine felt like I was going to keel over - is that cause all the blood had gone to my legs/normal? - I don't normally train my legs as they already massive compared to my upper body but the lady at the next machine was looking rather fetching

Happy

Either the blood has gone from your head to your abnormally large extremeties below the belt, or you just got up quickly and blood pressure went a bit low in your head upstairs.

So many sins admitted to in one post:

Not training legs
Doing more than 5 reps
Isolating calves
Doing exercises just to impress women lol

Think the only cure for this is back to back smolov squat cycles
