Coach, you say the splits stretching class isn’t conditioning but... 3 sets of 60 calf raises seems like a pretty good conditioning session to me. 

My calves were on fire and I had DOMS the next day. 

Wont this actually tighten them?

Hey Joshua, there is no possibility to push the range of motion at the end range if the muscles is not enough strong. this is pretty common, especially on legs range fo motion.

not a case all my clients following the foundation's legs course have more improvements compared to those who do not follow a structured strengthening program for the legs.

LOL.

Just means you have seriously deconditioned calves.  Don’t worry, they will adapt relatively quickly.

Actually I am being quite kind only assigning 60reps, my own athletes did 150reps of each.

I tried out the 150 rep Calf Sequence that was added recently. Pretty fun to try. Didn't make it very far. I'll probably just use a wheelchair or scoot around on my butt for the next day or two for recovery.
