Keep your knees as straight as possible
Pogos are about building springyness in your Achilles tendon at your heel
Keep your knees out of it.
Most people don’t do pogos in long enough sets to actually benefit from them.
Try 3x1min builds to really feel your calves and Achilles working.
Building from a feeling of “springy-ness” helps you learn to stay relaxed and let your tendons do the work - which is the whole point.
Pogos should be very energy sapping, they should be a reflex of your Achilles tendons stretching and snapping back doing most of the work
If you’re very tired after a set of pogos, your trying too hard and using more muscle than tendon reflex
