I posted this in female discussions, but thought I'd post here also to see if anyone has any answers.....

Okay, my SIL is too embarassed to post this question herself so I thought I'd ask for her. (She doesn't want to become known as the girl with the "butt problem", LOL)
When doing calf raises on the machine (both standing and sitting)she says she feels it in her butt - but not in the muscle, internally. I think she said it was kind of like a pulling sensation inside there. Does anyone know what this is?
She reads the boards here, so you can direct your answers to her. Just call her "J".
Thanks!!!=)

I am new to the site...but not a beginner as far as weight training goes. I am also receiving these odd "pulling" sensations in my butt when I do standing calf raises. I am always very methodical when it comes to form, and for the life of me I can't figure this out. Any suggestions?
