Hell, even the auto-caption makes fun of how I pronounce “eyepertrophy…”
Typically I favor full-range, multi-joint movements, but there are specific cases where partials can be useful:
-
If you want to strengthen a specific range of motion (like correcting a weak part of a lift)
-
For athletes in the last phase of an off-season plan to accentuate strength and power in a sport-specific range of motion
-
To be able to keep training a pattern when you don’t have access to the full ROM for some reason
-
To get used to handling heavier loads.
