Calf Raise Progressions—With a View 🏔️
• Don’t skip calf day!
•
Here’s a simple progression to build calf strength, stability & control—especially helpful whether you’re training for performance or going through rehab:
Progressions: ✅ Double leg ✅ 2 up, 1 down ✅ Single leg ✅ Deficit raise (heels drop below step) ✅ 2 up, 1 down on deficit ✅ Single leg on deficit
➡️ Add weight progressively as you build strength. (Spoiler: I couldn’t pack my weights, and finding a gym in Italy is harder than you’d think 🇮🇹)
•
Effective rehab = more than just harder calf raises. Train with intent. Train in all planes. Balance ✅ Strength ✅ Stability ✅ Mobility ✅ Eventually… yes, plyometrics too.
•
One size does not fit all.
• Need help building a plan tailored to you?

There are no bad exercises—only ones you’re not prepared for.
•
Most injuries happen because of too much too quickly, too little for too long, or a combination of both.
•
It’s not the movement that’s the problem—whether it’s sprinting, deadlifting, or pickup basketball.
• It’s that the load exceeds your current capacity.
•
✅ The good news: Capacity is adaptable.
Start at your current level. Build gradually over time. Let your body adjust. Progress takes patience
•

Let’s be realistic and set expectations.
•
Unfortunately we can’t avoid or prevent all injury. BUT we CAN reduce the risk-and how hard they hit.
•
Strength. Movement variability. Recover
Control the controllables. The rest is out of our hands.
•
Build the buffer, create margin for error, build resilience and stack the odds in your favor.
•

🧽Sure, SpongeBob used a little imagination to reshape his world… •
When it comes to pain and injury, we know that idea isn’t far off.
•
It comes from: ✅ Moving with intention: having a skillful and purposeful plan
✅A supportive environment for healing ✅ Permission to move  ✅ Graded exposure to the things that you love ✅ Progressive overload (the right kind, at the right time) ✅ And yeah — good vibes and energy go a long way too
•
This is what we find our clients consistently need.
And when it’s custom-tailored to them, it changes everything.
•
It’s not flashy. It’s not always complicated. But when it’s done right it works & feels like magic 🪄

🚦 Navigating Pain with the Stoplight System
•
🟢 Green (0–3/10): Mild discomfort? pain remains low, or gets better continue with movement!
🟡 Yellow (4–6/10): Moderate pain? Modify the movement, don’t stop all together. Monitor closely.
🔴 Red (7+/10): Sharp or worsening pain? Stop. Avoid movement for now! Replace it with something else
•
💡 Use pain as information, not an enemy. This guide helps you move with confidence and progress safety—especially during rehab or return to activity.

The new RPE scale🥩
•
🤣For the visual learners out there. How cooked does this exercise/movement make you feel. This has recently helped some of our clients better understand RPE.
•
Rate of perceived exertion or RPE is used to measure how hard you feel you’re working during a particular exercise.
•
Helps to better understand
•proper intensity & how hard we are working
• self regulation- asssessing daily readiness and adjusting on how you feel
•helps build awareness & ensure we are training hard enough to cause adaptions
• helps track progress during rehab & training
•
We often use RPE to help guide our progression in rehab with respect to pain & proper intensity to cause adaption we are looking for!
•
Some people just understand it better when I describe it like this. Hope it helps😂

Aches & pains don’t mean you have to 🛑stop moving completely!
•
There is ALWAYS something you can do to keep moving & healing. If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl!
•
Here are a few ways to stay in the gym making progress while addressing those aches & pains. It’s not one or the other you can and should do both when in pain or injured. It will keep the surrounding tissue and the body as a whole better prepared after the injury has improved.
