I was wondering About different opinions on partial vs full Range of Motion. After changing my trainIng style from just lifting the weight to working the muscleI started to consider this. I have been working on my MMC and feeling the muscle work maximizing the pump. I have dropped the weight on my lifts and checking my ego. I have found that when I work the middle 1/3 of the rep, the feeling is completely different than the full ROM reps I had been doing. Even reps where there would be no pause at the bottom or top portion. The contineous tension on the middle range makes it so much more difficult.
Is this just common knowledge in BB style training? I have lifted weights for several years as an athlete trying to increase strength, so forgive my ignorance.
This has been done for years and years. Staying in the bottom and middle half of squats, and staying in the bottom/middle half on bench press keeps the tension on the quads & chest respectively.
I am no expert but maybe partials have a plug effect. I will try to explain myself. I ran 2 marathons. The principle is quite simple alternate right left repeat. Work 1 leg at a time give more or less a 50% ratio alterning work/rest. Work generates residue wich brings about fatigue.
Sitting at rest residue is no problem naturally removed by blood flow. If blood flow is restricted(plugged) fatigue comes sooner. Just holding our breath limits natural flow, wich constantly bring nutriants and removes garbage.
There are 2 breathing the big one and the cellular one.
Most lift a way i call lazy, lifting fast creates momentum like jogging downhill also fast lowering is a brake like jogging(alternating work-rest).
The advantage of speed it makes you look good you lift heavy resting most of the time more or so.
Try doing 200 abs with TUT constant tension with only body weight it might be a better explanation than my attempt. When i do them it last close to 7 min. You will probably realize that adding weight is the lazy way.
All the best!

There may be a language problem here, but I don’t know what the f**k you just said.

Ok this might be clearer. Walking is natural muscles alternate work-rest. Constant tension prohobits rest so it adds stress wich results in fatigue. In the gym do enough reps without full joint motion to get some fatigue the next rep go all the way to full joint motion you might feel like a plug has been removed from a bath tub and water/pressure is going down.

Are saying to do partials and then switch to full range of motion?
@ i_am_ketosis that is not what i meant. I suggested a test. The intended goal was to show that if you lock your elbows or you knees you make it easier on your muscles. You might spend x time working out making it easy or less time not making it easy. Those are options we all face.
Kudos to Iron Dwarf, theory is 1 thing, reality might differ, plus cool avatar
