Reply With Quotether is fascia that covers the enitre bost, starting from the bottom of the feet all the way to the head (can't remeber the name of the fascial sheath though).
anyway, it soulds like you must have been just straining really hard or pressing your foot into the floor in a strange way when you were pressing.

who knows about this...
doing seated overhead dumbell presses while pressing, there was a tug on the outside edge of my left calf...and in the next set the same thing.
As I was pressing it felt like a charlie horse...but stopped when I stopped pressing, Im positive it was related.
So who knows about muscle relationships between extreme distances on the body? There must by so link between the calf and some part of the shoulder region

Perhaps you weren't well hydrated or well nutritionalized (is that word) after a day of squats. Or maybe you throw the clutch in hard with your left foot. Or maybe you were pushing at an awkard angle.

This sounds neurological. Your lower limbs are enervated by spinal nerves which exit the spinal column. The one which enervates your leg exits at (if I remember correctly) your thoracic vertibrae which is midback.

It sounds like you're having what's called "refered pain".
It is similar to the mechanism that causes heart attack victims to feel pain in their jaw or arm.
Except that in your case it's nothing to worry about.
Carry on. (Unless the condition worsens.)

There is nothing wrong with cracking your neck or back or knuckles. There was some old wives tale that it cause osteoarthritis or something, but that's just not true.
