scooby just did a blog post where he claims that you dont need to do full range of motion to get big or strong. what a crock of shit. maybe when you are roiding out the gills you can do his micro-reps and still gain muscle but the rest of us need full ROM
Is anyone on /fit/ actually interested in lifting or just pix of womens butts and CBTs?

I agree that full rom is the only way to go.
That being said, I see a lot of half benchers that are pretty big. It's a shameful display when somebody loads up 275 and hardly moves it, but I guess they think it's working. I'm sure they also claim to "rep 275"
He's right.
HOWEVER you have to go pretty fucking heavy and do a lot more reps to get the same amount of work done.
That it can allow you to lift heavier is good, but the potential for injury and loss of strength across the full range of motion is not worth it.
A full range of motion THEN "micro reps" is the way to go, IMHO.

/fit/ is the land of high school and college aged guys who were losers, so convince themselves that by going to the gym maybe one or two times a week makes them better than everyone else

on isolation exercises just doing the hardest part of the exercise for the same TUT is much harder than with full ROM. this should be obvious if you have basic highschool knowledge of physics.

I can do 0% ROM and get 60% gains?

according to mister bro-science himself!

>100% ROM means 50% risk of injury
You literally have one chance out of 2 to tear your bicep if you curl with the full range of motion. Goddamn that's smart.
>>36487000
Curling with full rom is worse than dumbell flies. Enjoy tearing your biceps

i only come here for cbt threads to look at reasonably buff men
im a grill
Quarter reps is a way to break up the ROM routine and just incorporate something unlike the normalcy your body become accustomed to.
What are 21's?
What are full push-ups with quarter reps embedded in there?

what?

I think part reps can help, especially if you have longer limbs. I'm 6'4 and for example with a curl, if I do full rom then the first whatever % of the lift is almost entirely forearm. This gives my bicep time to rest instead of being completely engaged. I try to toss in at least one exercise where I do like 70% rom to get that final burnout on the muscle at the end.
if you're talking about compounds then you're talking about focusing on different muscles, you don't use every muscle to 100% in a squat or bench press
I feel like the most chest involvement on bench is at the bottom 25-50%, after is mostly tris and front felt. So would quarter to half benching (with a spotter since its the most dangerous area) max chest gains during bench? Mostly wondering if Im correct about the greater chest involvement at the bottom of the bench movement
>>36484146
well I would say scoobs is right. Hypertrophy is the muscle's response to danger of tearing. Going full range of motion just means fully contracting the muscle.
If you hold a heavy enough weight you could invoke hypertrophy cause the body will think the tension is gonna tear the muscle.
>in this thread children, we have a bunch of people who don't understand anatomy and physiology
limiting ROM lets you isolate certain muscles
which means you'll have less nervous and respiratory stress
e.g. you can do far more half rep bench presses in the bottom of the range, which lets you work your chest more than you could with full reps, at least in the same number of sets or amount of time
Took me months to do a pullup. I would jump up and do a controlled decent. It really helped. Cheat rom is great for progress.
hmmmm
>>36487974
But thats not true, because extension and flexion don't necessarily involve contraction. Sure, you might be holding a heavy weight but your body isn't going to produce muscle because of fiber stress.
