Just make sure to pause at the bottom for a count of three or for to eliminate the aforementioned stretch reflex. I promise your weight and rep range will not be the same if you are not doing this already.

There is a reason you high school kids doing 350 lbs for 20 reps at a time: the bounce it.

I saw decent growth with kinda what 0311 said. Fast concentric. Then I hold for a count of three. Slow (though not 4 seconds) downwards. Wait at the bottom for a count of three to four.

Once I switched to these, I've found my calves are worked much better.

I do them twice a week: standing once and seated once, therefore gastro's once and soleus once
