Here is the routine Gaspari used for the final eight weeks before a competition:
Day One: Morning Workout

Donkey Calf Raises — 5x15
Done with up to two people on his back and a dip belt with added weight. Drop sets were incorporated by having one person get off his back, then the other, and then the loaded dip belt.
Seated Calf Raise — 5x15
Increase weight each set and the last set would be a triple-drop set.
Chest
Incline Dumbbell Press — 5x8-12
Last set to failure
