Conseils techniques
Raise your heels as high as possible, keeping your toes on the ground. Pause at the top of the movement for a second to maximize the contraction in your calves. Then, lower your heels back down until they're just below the level of the bench. Avoid rushing through the movements as it can lead to injury and won't effectively work the muscles.
One common mistake is to bounce the heels up and down. This uses momentum rather than muscle power to lift the weight. Instead, ensure you are lifting and lowering the weights in a controlled manner to effectively engage and strengthen your calf muscles.
