Open in the app⚠️ Most common mistake: Bouncing through reps and skipping the bottom stretch, which is where the calf gets most of its growth. Leaning heavily on the balance hand, which removes load from the working leg. Cutting the top range short and not rising fully onto the ball of the foot. Rushing through reps too quickly, which trades full contractions for momentum.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Calves.
