Hi Vans,
Thanks for the input. I haven't been on a treadmill now in about a week. I've also been on a fair amount of ibuprofen / naproxen, but not the "full dose." In any event. the shin splits are gone. Hurray!
Can you help me out with the logic of the high vol reverse calf raises? I'm doing it now and i can definitely feel the muscle in my shins working. Is this like pin firing / high volume chins for creaky elbows?
