Hey people, I'm back. well anyways, It's been a lgno time and my  calf is still not that flexible. When I do hamstring stretches, most of the stretch is felt at the calfs. Besides, when i walk up the stairs sometimes, i feel my calfs, like as though they were reall tight and stiff.

Is this normal? N how do i overcome this problem? It seems liek i need hardcore stretching, asd my normal stertchign routine which consists of 15second hol for abotu 2-3sets dont work. Leg swings  of 10reps and 3sets dont seem to help either

try rolling them out on a tennis ball or something similar like a handball or whatever. start really gentle and if any points hurt in particular, linger on them for a few seconds. then stretch them really gently but for a long time, like at least a minute at a time. repeat as necessary. also, use the tennis ball to roll the bottoms of your feet, then stretch your plantar flexors by lifting your heel and pushing forward on your toes.

do that for many days in a row. don't push the stretch, it shouldn't be uncomfortable at all, just enough so that you can feel it a little bit.
