After not doing calves for only about a week or so I did them again 3 days ago, heres the calf routine i did.
4 plates per side on standing calf raise machine feet and heals together 30 reps pausing at top and bottom
standing on 2 45's with no weight slow 30 reps
standing on ground 30 reps
stretch 30 seconds each leg
4 plates per side toes together heals apart 30 reps
standing on 45's 30 reps
standing on ground 30 reps
stretch 30 seconds each leg
same thing as last 2 things but heals together toes apart for last set
stretch 30 seconds each leg
I did this 3 days ago and the day after my calves were a little sore but fine, the next day I couldn't even walk flat footed because they were so sore and every time I sat down and then got back up it was really hard to walk, still the same thing today but maybe a little less worse. Is there anything I can do to make the soreness not as bad or is this just because I'm not used to the lactic acid from this type of calf exercise?
