Ok, so I'm a lanklet, like 6'5", but I do have a decent insertion for my claves, mid point of my legs, but they are sticks.
I can squat 315 ass to the grass, and do paused reps with 225. That's not strong, but keep in mind my distance. I have decent thigh development and decent glutes.
My Calves however are horrid. I look like a chicken or horse legs.
So I have added in Calf training 3 x a week.
I use the standing calve press, as much weight on the stack as I can for sets of 20 reps, deep stretch at the bottom.
Same for seat calf raises.
I do this 2x a week.
The 3rd I use a leg press, and do 3 more 20 rep sets with my feet on the edge.
I do get Doms in my calves, but my feet.... holy hell my feet hurt. The bottom underside of my feet. The tendon gets inflamed and it hurts to walk or stand.
How do I train my calves and save my foot tendons?

I get plenty of potassium. I eat baked potatoes with skin all the time. I also eat Bananas with my lunch.
Poweraide drink too regularly contains it.
Eating 4000 cals a day, in 6 meals, due to high metabolism and my height. Trust me, I get in lots of potassium and everything else.
This is a training issue I am sure, just not sure how to approach it.

Same boat with you. I even have to massage my feet regularly. It's like these knotted tendons all over the soles of my feet that I can't get rid of. Even throwing around the thought of plantar fasciitis. Pain versus gainz. Keep in mind this isn't a small discomfort. I can push thru pain. But this hurts.

NOT AN ARGUMENT

Try not going down all the way with your reps. Controlled movement. Up and down. You don't stretch the calf ultra far with normal foot steps or going up stairs, so WHY would you train it that way?
