I do calf raises every Friday, it's the only exercise I do for the calves.
from Saturday to Monday I find it really hard to walk as my calves are in extreme agony, it calms down on Tuesday and back to normal for the next 2 days. I've even lowered the weight, reps and sets I do but it's still the same (I can easily lift the full 200kg stack for 4 sets of 20 but I don't anymore, I'm now nearer 100Kg for 2 sets of 12).
Any ideas what I can do either instead of calf raises or to stop it hurting so much (I stretch and warm up with light weights)
