You'll be surprised, they don't tire you out for the rest of leg day to follow and act as a great overall warm up.
    thanks for the eye opener...ive never tried doing them first for the fact that I was afraid it would mess up my balance maybe on squats, but they are very resilient and I could use me some more calvs so ill give it a go and see if I can get a little more growth there....thanks...

    Ghetto you'll like them first. It really warms you up for heavy leg work to follow without tiring you out. Then when your done quads and hams you don't have to have that "oh shiat" feeling of still having to do calves. You'll appreciate it.
