Alot more then just going to sit down tbh, but calves are worse yeah.
I remember when I did calve raises the first time. So very well. Since my calf are strong on their own, I kinda overdid it.
Horrible mistake. I had to crawl on my knees up my bedroom stairs the next day omg.
Took like 3-4 days.before the acid was gone. Horrible

However, busting a nut with wrecked calves is no issue. With wrecked quads its impossible

In long distance running, the heel strikes the ground, just after the forefoot impacts... It's a rather strange looking stride in a sense, almost like a rocker, as the forefoot strikes to soften the impact through ankle dorsiflexion and the heel drops to the ground under control of calf muscle and achilles tendon, and then the heel lifts and it's back up onto the forefoot as the foot leaves the ground again.
I think it's all a factor of mitigating risk with proper form, technique and concentration, which is the case with many heavy weightlifting exercises, and most sports.
I mean, I climb and surf, both of which have inherent risk... I try to reduce risks to reasonable levels.
I guess what I'm trying to say, is the risk is pretty low when using proper form, and when not lifting at or beyond absolute limit weights. But as a functional exercise, with less than limit weights, it's a pretty good one.
What im seeing is that with proper form there are certain muscles wich are on a weight treshhold for injury risk.
Deadlifts dont break the back. They'll tear the posterior chain, erector spinae or biceps tendon when reverse gripping
When does this happen ? When training properly with a frame not gifted, from 200kg on.
With a frame build for it, when going over 300kg.
200 for a non serious lifter, is ALOT, where as 300 for a lifter is internationally competitive. These arent easely reached. Biceps are tricky, so pull with double overhand straps.
Squats are actually more tricky and not. To get a really good squat it takes time. Squat is the one where fucking up can cause skelet injuries. Doing it wrong can give lumbago, hernia before even reaching 100kg. Doing it right without having the frame seems to have an injury treshhold at 190-200kg. But having strong backmuscles(wich you train) can remove this issue.
High level squatters can get brutally injured when missing a max and spotters dont catch it.
Thing is. Squat properly, train your back and dont worry before 200kg.
Benchpress is a risk on the pecs and delts. Ironically the most practiced lift in the world, is by far the most injury intensive.
Pec tears or stretches can come as low as 100kg. Even with proper form, pecs can.givw out.
Without proper form, you can destroy your rotator cuffs.
When doing it right, you can injure triceps tendons.
Not what most would expect now isnt it
