Insufficient Range of Motion

Failing to fully lower the heels below the step or platform, which limits the stretch on the calf muscles. This reduces the muscle's ability to generate force and can hinder hypertrophy, as the full eccentric phase is compromised.

Bouncing at the Bottom

Using momentum by bouncing at the bottom of the movement rather than controlling the eccentric phase. This reduces muscle tension and engagement, making the exercise less effective for strength and hypertrophy, and can place undue stress on the Achilles tendon.

Rushing the Reps

Performing repetitions too quickly without a controlled tempo or a peak contraction. This prevents adequate time under tension for the calf muscles, diminishing the hypertrophic stimulus and reducing the effectiveness of each rep.
