IM NOT ADVOCATING THIS GUY IN THE VIDEO- BUT YOU ARE BRAINWASHED HAVE YOUR MIND IN A BOX - IF YOU BELIEVE THIS- ALL THE PROS ARNOLD , HANEY,YATES- ALL PRACTICED PARTIALS. THEY DO HAVE A PLACE IN TRAINING. THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO TRAIN. I FEEL SORRY FOR PEOPLE WHO THINK IN SUCH CONCRETE TERMS- TO TRAIN JUST SLOW AND FULL LEGHTN IS BUILDING A BODY THAT ONLY FUNCTIONS IN THE GYM. FUNCTIONAL MUSCLE UTILIZES ALL TYPES OF PRINCIPLES- WE CAN LEARN ALOT FROM POWERLIFTERS AND THE OLD SCHOOL GUYS- SO WHAT IF HE COULDNT STOP THE DUMBELL I MEAN REALLY - WHO CARES? YOURE BODY SHOULD BE ABLE TO ADJUST TO ANYTHING- TRAINING DIFFERENT PLANES AND ANGLES IS AN INDIVIDUAL THING. YOU GO AHEAD WITH YOUR ROBOT TRAINING METHODS - I RESPECTFULLY WISH YOU THE BEST. ME? IM GOING TO TRY ALL TYPES OF TRAINING AND NEW THINGS- IM NOT JUST A BODYBUILDER, IM AN ATHLETE AND MY SLOW TWICH, FAST TWICTH AND ALL MY SMALLER MUSCLES WILL BE HIT BECAUSE I REFUSE TO ACCEPT ONLY A LIMITED WAY OF TRAINING. I HAVE DONE THIS SINCE 1977- THROUGH EXPERIENCE. I GOT MY CSCS CERTIFICATE YEARS LATER ONLY BECAUSE I DONT AGREE WITH ALL THE BULLSHIT THEY TEACH EVERYONE- SO I GOT MY BA AND THAT CERTIFICATE ONLY SO I COULD SPIT IN EVERYONES FACE THAT TRIES TO SHOW ME THEIR WORTHLESS PIECE OF PAPER THAT MEANS NOTHING. NOW IM NOT SAYING THAT ABOUT YOU - IM JUST MAKING A POINT- THERE IS WAY WAY MORE TO TRAINING. PARTIALS HAVE THEIR PLACE IN YOUR ROUTINE. IF THEY DONT - YOU WILL NEVER REACH YOUR POTENTIAL BOTTOM LINE.

sheesh I am such a jerk- MOxie accept this as an apology- You obviously have much knowledge in anatomy and physiology, However just consider my one case example here- 20 year old college athlete unable to perform one chin up after years of training. I schooled him with forced negatives and partial reps over a three month period and now chins are part of his routine. His lats have taken on a whole new look hes clean yet being accused of using gear. All because I incorporated partials into his routine. I been at this a long long time. I go by my own experience. No need for articles or manuals I could write my own. again Im so sorry about my demeanor previously- I get where you are coming from and you do make sense- However get me- THERE IS NO ONE WAY TO TRAIN.
YOU JUST DONT MAKE A PRACTICE OF DOING THEM OFTEN= SORT OF LIKE GOING MAX WEIGHT.

GOING ALL THEY WAY UP AND DOWN CAN ALSO SET YOU UP FOR INJURY- I GUESS WHEN YOU HAVE TRAINED PROFESIONALLY FOR 20-30 YEARS YOU WILL SEE ENOUGH OF THIS TO EVEN UNDERSTAND WHAT IM SAYING

TweetKets, not sure if you are with me or not in my explanation, your two posts are polar opposites. I agree with what you are saying; variety is key to maximizing potential, no doubt there. I am saying that I see MANY guys in the gym training partial ranges ALL DAY, EVERY DAY, I am just providing the science behind partials, when they are beneficial and when they are not. I'll tell you, 95% of the time, they are NOT being utilized correctly.

And when I say full-range, I do not mean to the point of hyperextending the elbow, I simply mean bringing each and every muscle through the largest and safest possible range of motion. This will yield the greatest adaptations in muscular hypertrophy.

Here's the key: If you DO train your full range of motion, and then decide methodically that you want to add some partials into your routine, I think that's OK.

I am NOT saying that there is only one way to train, however I am saying partials are not the best strategy for hypertrophy training, but there's nothing wrong with throwing them into an already sound training program.
