Hello all,
Starting to get back into shape. Eating well (200 grams of protein, low carbs daily) and hitting the gym every day. Everything was going great and then I overworked my calves and bam! I could hardly walk for 2 days. The cramping in my calves 24 hours after a workout was the worst I ever experienced.
That really screwed up my workout schedule, because I could not lift, could not do cardio, all I could do was eat right and wait for my calves to loosen back up.
I am sure we have all been there before.
The thing is I do not know why. I did not work my calves any harder than any other part of my legs during that workout. in fact I think I worked my quads even harder than my calves. My quad burned like hell during that session. So there was no sign during the workout that my calves were being over worked.
Does anyone have any tips, that may help me avoid overworking a muscle like that again in the future. The pain does not bother me near as much as being thrown off my schedule and being down for two days.
Thanks in advance.
Sean
