Does Strength Training your calves lead to a better sprint performance

These were the good ole days!!!

Standing and seated raises has helped with my ankle stiffness etc. May not mean much because I have horrible lower leg strength - my wife can probably raise more weight then me.

Wonder what Charlie would have thought about all the isometric work being doing today, such as Alex Natera’s lower leg exercises?

You rupture the achilles and then rapidly throw your arms in the air and pull you pec while shouting: “Damn! Shouldn’t have done all that extra calf work!”
Seriously though, I’m getting pretty sick and tired of people suggesting that anyone who doesn’t jump on a trend is missing the boat.
If there was a reason to do it, I would have done it. There wasn’t and I didn’t. Full stop!

Charlie really would love some of the stupid stuff going on now a days credited to people who’ve never done shit.
