One of the things we all encounter sooner or later is a pull in the calf muscle. One of the members here has asked about what can be done to prevent it, so I’ve made a little video to explain what I do, and why. I’ve done this a couple times and it’s no bueno, as we really need that muscle since it’s responsible for the first part of the triple extension. Basically you need it anytime you’re doing some athletic movement. So here’s what I have done to help prevent this. Note, I am not a physiotherapist. I am not saying this is for everyone just simply what I’ve started doing and since I’ve started doing it, I have not had any issues with my calf. Ps if you have any questions like this lmk and I’ll answer then best as I can. This will be free of charge for now!

Since a big part of this community is to focus on Strenth and Conditioning, I thought I'd see what you're all working on! For me personally my main focus is Strength based power lifting with some O-lifts and Ballistic training to maintain (at least) some explosive/speed strength. What are you working on, and what kind of program do you follow?
