Pulled Muscle or What?

[CyberTractor]

I was doing that calve workout when you stand on the ball of your foot(like when you flex calves) and go back down, and the morning after they hurt like hell.
I couldn't get out of bed or get dressed cause I couldn't bend my leg, so I had to wear a robe the whole day (not like it mattered cause it was raining so couldn't go out).

Is is just cause they were never worked out before or what?
Anyone know.

Pulled muscle might be one case.

Did you stretch? Did you warm up? You might have pulled the muscle if you didn't do one of those.

well, I stretch in the morning, full body, and at night i do the workouts. could that have been the problem?

Always before you do the exercise, stretch. And after. That might help.

More information please:

how long did the problem last for?
where exactly did it hurt?
was anything different this time, like, have you done these exercises before, did you do more or heavier?

Another question for you. Did both of your Calves hurt or was it just one of them by itself? If it was both of them then you probably just had some bad ass delayed sorness.

Lets see...
A day
My upper calve (both)
I just started to do them cause people always say about how they never worked calves so I decided to starty them now.
