Calf strain that won’t go away

[ouzo26]

Thanks for the feedback Mark. Looks like I’m gonna need a montage

[Mark Rippetoe]

What is a montage?

[ouzo26]

You know like a training montage from Rocky. When he runs up the stairs.

I’m guessing I should start loading with less weight than the bar? Or should I start with the empty bar?

Can you squat the empty bar without falling over?

[ouzo26]

I could definitely squat the empty bar without falling over. Although the low bar position is tough for me, it gave me tennis elbow. I need to work on my mobility or use a Buffalo bar.

Wouldn’t the bar just tear up my calf again? Or would it help get rid of the swelling

[Mark Rippetoe]

Done.
