Correct Form

1. Sit on the machine and place the ball of one foot on the lower edge of the platform, with your heel hanging off. 2. Keep that leg nearly straight, but avoid locking your knee. 3. Press through the ball of your foot to raise your heel as high as possible. 4. Slowly lower your heel back down below the platform level. 5. Complete the set and alternate sides.

Common Mistake

Avoid bouncing or using momentum; perform the movement slowly and with control.

Pro Tips

1. Aim for a full range of motion to maximize calf activation. 2. Pause briefly at the top for maximum calf contraction.
