Reset Your Tight Calves

In this video, Tim demonstrates how to reset tight calves with a standing speed skater. This is also a great way to activate your glutes. A great movement prep for runners!

wow I just found your channel and I think I stumbled upon something really valuable.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Thanks for watching! We try to be helpful!

[@brotomann]

I needed this! I've been doing a lot of barefoot running this summer and my calves are feeling tighter than a clam at high tide. Thank you for all the frequent, helpful and entertaining content you put out to improve the daily living of so many people.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Glad this is helpful. The tide always rolls in, right?!

[@rennbo]

Oh Man!! I‘m looking forward to this every wednesday!! And you are able to give us every week for week for week so much new Input and valuable ideas. LOVE IT!! 😄😄💪💪 I hope this weekly series never ends 😄 Ps. Did my Press Reset Cert Test yesterday evening. 97% 🤙

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

You are way too kind! But so so happy you love the channel and information. And WOW! Congratulations on your test! You're an OS Professional! So glad to have you with us!

[@yelenast]

Wow!! This is freaking awesome move . Thank you!! My calves were asking for something like that.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

So glad it is helpful to you. Feel free to let us know how you implement these and what you discover.

Thanks Tim!

Amazing video as always! I have been so busy I haven't had the pleasure of watching your video but this one was perfect and just what I needed. Btw your Becoming Bulletproof workouts have been so clutch, I have been doing them mostly while traveling for school with limited gym access. I am always surprised by how much easier lifting the same weight I did a week ago feels when I am doing my OS resets. I got book review on that book coming out this weekend. Hopefully once I am done traveling we can figure out when to do an interview. :) Hope all is well.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Pavan! It is good to hear from you! So glad you liked the BBP! Please let me know when you release your review and thank you so much for doing that! Please keep in touch and let me know when you want to get together.

Thank you because My calves are probably the body part I have

[@andrewe3112]

Genius.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Thanks Andrew!

[@keerthi4513]

Oh my god. I observed my form doing this in a mirror. I was sloppy! Simple move but deceptively difficult to do it right.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I'm sure you did fine, Keerthi! The more we move, the better it gets

[@annedirkman]

Tim's shorts are so dark-colored, it's hard to see which leg is moving - it's like an optical illusion - great exercise!

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

It is an illusion! I'm not even moving! Ha!

[@balwantpadaki2707]

Great move Tim! Thank you. BTW - which footwear is that? Looks lean and mean.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Those are my Joe Nimbles! Great shoes. Certainly lean and mean.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

And thanks for watching!

[@MANTHOSGE]

Hello Tim. What exercise do you do with that red barrel??? :) Manthos Georgantzis.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Oh man! That is filled with sand. We push and pull on it and move it from one place to another. Fantastic training from John Brookfield, the creator of battling ropes.

[@MANTHOSGE]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem Fantastic training for sure!! My respect to Mr. Brookfield! Thank you so much for your reply tim! Manthos Georgantzis.

[@yelenast]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem how is it different from using the sandbags?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Sandbags you can pick up. The barrel weighs between 300 to 500 pounds depending on how much sand you put in it. It's for moving and manipulating. Like moving awkward, heavy pieces of furniture.

[@yelenast]

Original Strength 💪💪💪 way too cool. 😎Where do you get this size of a barrel from?

[@hatejethro1164]

Do you have reset for arms and hands? my ring and pinky finger have that tingling numb sensation/Cubital tunnel syndrome. Ive been doing nerve flossing and some stretches but it hasnt gone away.

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

Off the top of my head, LOTS of head nods while lying propped up on the forearms. Also, when driving or sleeping, make sure you are not resting and compressing the inside of your elbow (the ulnar nerve). It's shallow and easy to aggravate. Hope this helps some.

[@hatejethro1164]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem tnx man.

[@mukeshpandiyan6203]

Hi Tim, can it develop calves thicker?

[@OriginalStrengthSystem]

I suppose it is possible, but it would take a great deal of volume. I think there may be more efficient ways like skipping, marching, and dragging and pushing things from one place to another.

[@mukeshpandiyan6203]

@@OriginalStrengthSystem I have been doing your bulletproof elevated rocking. What an amazing exercise you have taught us. I'm so glad that I have subscribed to your channel. And thank you for your reply. I will do those too.

[@folknblues1]

Function is everything, by which I mean train for strength first then an increase in size should follow. I do toe raises, on the flat, sometimes on the edge of a step, or with a board under the ball of the foot. When able to, I skipped rope. I do these to maintain some strength, and to avoid swelling in the foot and ankle caused by blood pressure medication. As Tim writes, walking or marching is also key.

[@mukeshpandiyan6203]

@@folknblues1 thank you Jeff. I never knew that marching and walking can help calves.
