Anyone tried ‘progressive distance’ for strength gains? Basically using 1/4 movements for several reps, and gradually increasing the range of motion (distance) to 3/4 ROM.
I’m starting on this on three movements – back squat, clean-grip deadlift and close-grip bench.
I read recently, either here or elsewhere, about using the same progression with overhead lockouts.
Post your progress, should be interesting
I remember a special Bench Press rack that was sold a few (OK about 25!) years ago where the adjustment was very fine via screw threads. The theory/claim was that you could load it to, say, 300lb with a ROM of 2inches, the add a fraction of an inch each workout until you could bench your target weight.
Never heard of any successes though.

Will do. This is based on articles from Bud Jeffries. Probably the strongest ‘natural’ man on the planet.
Sounds like not many people implement this, so I must be on the right track
