Fatigued Calfs, the only leg muscle still hurting

and im sayin its not that used in hockey, guys on here mix it up with the anterior tibia which is next to the calf

Toe flick comes from ankle strength, while you obviously don't want to neglect any portion of your legs, quads and ankles are crucial above all. Also, it's amazing how the internet makes ones balls swell about 100x their actual size. Gong could most likely dangle 99% of the people on this board six ways from Sunday but people still insist on chiming in with pathetic jokes.

ok i play ncaa so dont worry about me. however, i notice a lot of guys have skinny calves....huge quads but skinny calves...not saying they arent strong, but they arent as utilized as other muscles in the legs when skating. i havent had a workout program in my life with calve exercised, and i get my workouts from nhl trainers. You develop the twitch muscles in the claves,but you dont need bodybuilder ones to be fast.

if you skate upright like a bender then i can see where youre calves would be sore

I played ncaa and worked with nhl trainers and they all included calves in any workout program they designed for me. A trainer told me calves are very important and need to be trained because you use them every time you take a stride.

well that was his thought of training....the ones ive had my whole life have been different. when you do sprints and plyos u do calves, you dont need to use weights

As you have probably figured out by now, if you have a muscle that is sore from working out too much, the best thing to stop the ache is to go to the gym and work out that muscle again. Don't know why, but some muscles just keep aching for days until you work them out again, and then the pain goes away.
