Barbell Calf Raises

I just recently added barbell calf raises to my leg routine. I'm talking about the kind where I've got a barbell across my shoulders like I would to do squats.

Anyhow, I'm noticing 2 things new...well one actually, the other occurred when I did seated calf raises:

1. I'm very aware to not lock my knees when I am doing the raises, but I am feeling the "burn" not only in my calves (which is more like a cramp), but I am also feeling the burn at the top of my hamstrings right where it meets my glutes. Any idea what the deal is here?

2. As I progress through the set of calf raises, I notice that my feet start to roll towards my little (outside) toe. Any clues here? I'm thinking muscular imbalance maybe?

TIA
 
1) Its a new exercise so see how it progesses, sounds like its just your glutes doing some work

2) thats just the organisation of the ankle joint, notice how your lateral or outer ankle is lower
