I am curious how most feel about this.

I don't like being in pain. I put up with a little as a necessary evil, but i tend to think that if i'm really hurting, i've done something wrong.

Sadly, i got to a point where pretty much any leg pressing of calf raising would leave me in that kind of pain; i've never figured out what i'm doing wrong,

You train too infrequently and/or too hard. Do one leg related move every time you go to the gym, and excessive soreness should go away. Sure, some hardcore extremists could say, that it's not optimal from the point of view of this or that, but I bet that your legs will be in much better shape than they are now.

BTW - you don't have or need to go heavy every time, while training frequently. Seems like a waste of time, but give it a try and see for yourself.

So essentially, you'd suggest doing my normal leg workout less often, but adding in some lightweight stuff every time? Interesting.

so i don't do leg work as much as i should now. I even get painful knees when cycling (although it doesn't last after i stop), which really worries me. Anyway, i digress.

I had the same problem. Getting a motorbike fixed it for me. ;-)

Good, we need more organ donors.
