    Re: Improper utilization of calf muscle?

    Ive never torn the soleius - that I know of...

    Its not the achilles tendon, but the area directly below the calf and wrapping around to the outside of the leg...

    Re: Improper utilization of calf muscle?

    If you are referring to the 'bulk' of the calf muscle that is the two heads of the gastroc, underneath which is the tendon of the gastroc which superficially lies over the soleus. So either it is the tendon of the gastroc, or the soleus causing the problem. But without seeing it pointed out, very difficult to tell.
