full range-of-motion reps
Partial reps – do you do them? Should you even bother? Find out whether partial reps are effective for building strength and muscle size and what place they can have in your workout.
When you first started weight training, you probably stuck to mostly full range-of-motion reps, but as you progress you may look for ways to work your muscles differently in hopes of gaining more strength. One alternative is to do partial reps where you work a muscle or muscle group through only a portion of its range-of-motion. Are there benefits to doing this?
