TweetMoxie let me again apologize - I had a hair across my butt today so it was me. YOu are correct on all points - every single point is true, partials are not the best way. However they are a proven and legitimate method for some to make gains. Used by most pros for decades - to train around injury, to break sticking points and for the case example I shared. They are very useful for a purpose. However not the best or the only way. I use them all the time for at least when I perform press behind the neck= to more isolate delts and keep minimal trap use, plus its considered a dangerous exercise when use in its full range. Of course using weigths that are way too heavy is out of the question, but using partials in an intelligent manner . I do agree with you and some of the others that some look foolish. However even consider the constant tension principle which is used specifucally and also actually a variation of partial reps. Partials are very popular with professionals and serious individuals. However it was infair and I was a jerk to imply that you are anything but a very intelligent and knowledgable bodybuilder- the facts you spewed off here are awesome which is why I couldnt delete the post too much great info. Instead ill just again say SORRY I was an arse so everyone can see that I can be big enough to admit when Im a jerk.

Kets, it's all good bro. I like a good argument about exercise physiology every once in a while, it makes me think real hard You actually brought up some good points that I haven't considered before.
