Reminds me of @jbackos always regurgitating the stuff Louie Simmons says ā€œDonā€™t have a 10 cent squat with $100 shoes.ā€ Always thought it was hyperbole but apparently not

Great time to buy Romaleos 2 actually. With the 3s out the price of the 2s drops a bit. Still $200+ a pop tho

Man, canā€™t believe I missed this topic.

Iā€™ve used partial ROM a ton in my training. ROM progression was how I built up to a 650lb deadlift, and also how I first squatted 500lbs in competition.

I use 7 week cycles, starting above full ROM and eventually working my way down. Find it a great way to train some overload and get strong at heavier weights.

I always have a chuckle at the ā€œfull ROM all the time no matter whatā€ crowd. Everything has a place.

The great Paul Anderson built much of his strength this way.

Yup. Blatantly stole it from him and Bob Peoples. I really need to get back to it. It works.
