Why do people half rep?
Saw a retard half repping one plate with awful form today, bar wasn't parallel, couldn't believe it. He was also really loud. I thought people like that only existed in fit memes.
I'M JUST TRYING TO FINISH MY 5 REPS FUCKKKK
half reps are a little silly but if I lower the bar to an inch or two above my chest I feel like it works my chest better than going all the way down

>less rom works muscles more

But you arnt stretching your pecs if you dont go all the way down

This might be because you bounce the weight off your chest. Try to hold it there for half a second before coming back up.

Your chest is working harder since you aren't bouncing the barbell off of your ribcage like a trampoline.
>people like seeing more weight on the bar
Is that so hard to understand?

Lol. Best meme I've seen in a while
Mind if I save it?

there are people that lift just to pat themselves on the back.
most people you meet at a commercial gym don't care what they're doing.
not sure, seen an asian with massive legs doing half or quarter squats pretty quickly
also scooby likes half repping

If you go all the way down you are more prone to injuries, unless you are a manlet

thats basically a spoto press. hold it an inch over for 2 seconds and then lift back up. they're really good for you
