      If you do a weight this light, the resistance of the movement at the top and bottom are probably actually useless.
      However, if you do anything in the 6-15 rep range, the top and bottom are NOT "relaxing". You still have tension in your muscles, and honestly, even if you relax, this isn't a conoetetivensetting where reps need to be legit, you are trying to become stronger, and if you can do an additional 3 reps because you did a small break at the top of your movement, that's perfectly legit.

      50 reps is Excessive.
      I mean, obviously it's going to do something, but I don't think you will develop a lot of explosive strength through that training.
      The reason it works so well for him, is probably that he is using PEDs.
      If you use PEDs, than any stimulus will lead to WAY more muscle grow than it would naturally. That's why people get huge traps and shoulder. Just doing Bizeps curls or anything else with your arms automatically loads the upper back muscle a LITTLE BIT, but that stress is enough for your body to build muscle there.

      Wether that applies to shoulders is a different story. Everything is a fckin posture muscle. Back, core, glutes. For me I go as heavy as I can where the weight doesn’t negatively impact going to failure and maintaining acceptable form. Which sometimes isn’t heavy especially if my shoulders are being clicky and weird. But no reason to do 50 reps like Eddie. That’s cardio.

      that promotes fatigue more than tension. Tension is the biggest at the complete bottom. It's still a way to train that brings variety, but it is not superior to full rom reps, per se, unless you have some sort of physical impairment. Not locking or fully stretching at the bottom makes you lift more and not stimulate your soft tissues as much, which is not exactly good if done the majority if the sets

      This dude is just avoiding any chance to rest but still does 99% of the rep. He can also absolutely complete the rep.
      When people complain about partial reps this is not what they're complaining about, they're talking about ego lifters who can't finish what they start.

      Always context dependant 🤷‍♂️ Strength is RoM specific, stretch under load (full depth) is probably the most power stimulus for hypertrophy.
      However with the amount of reps he's doing, this is pretty much an endurance application so fuck it 😆
      It's definitely is not responsible for "power" as he claims though but, then again, a lot of people misuse the word.

      and when it comes to strength training, a lot of bro science is better than stuff coming out of research studies. You have decades of actual experimentation and observation vs things like "6 average trained individuals doing one exercise, 3 times a week over 4 weeks and we concluded.... blah blah blah" I'm not saying follow bro science blindly, but a lot of bro science basically says, track what you're doing, measure what the result is, and if you're not getting the desired result, change things up. Rinse and repeat. Which is pretty much what science is about.

    Absolutely hate doing Db presses and started doing this to get them out of the way. Taking the 60’s (lbs) for a set of 35-40, after a month I was pressing the 100’s for reps I had never gone above 85 prior to that. Now I’m not saying this is bulletproof way to get the numbers up but as someone who used to DB shoulder press once in a blue moon this worked wonders.

What im trying to say is, we are not all the same. Some of us have incredible genetics and gain a ton of strength and muscle while looking at a dumbell. Doesnt mean we have to adapt their style of training. I found out for myself that i need more recovery then others so i went down from 4-5 days to 2-3 days of lifting in a week.

    Few things here. He doesn't say he never ever locks out when he's pressing. He's saying, an exercise he did do to build 'strength' is high reps at 50% of his ORM. The not locking out provides for increase Time under tension, and therefore easier to get to exaustion. Remember, 120kg on one arm for the shoulder is INSANE. Just because he's a beast, and he's nortern, he's not an idiot. What he's doing is using low weight (he can lift high reps off) low weight to him, high to us at 50-60kgs. Then he's just pumping out insane reps and trying to reach exaustion, to build more strength, but minimising risk given the sheer weight. The increased time under tension because he's not resting (avoiding the strict and therefore rest both at extention and contraction), he's getting to close to failure easier, and therefore building strength and muscle (and tendon strength). All these low resolution memes spouting 'bro science'. Eddie would crush your brain with his hand. When you're a GOAT, then you can have an opinion chumps.

    The evidence does not support this. What he was doing was endurance training. His power, came from other training practices he was implementing. Studies have also suggested he can get some good hypertrophy benefits with this type of structure, but its not the optimum way. The most efficient way of achieving hypertrophy seems to be 8-15 reps somewhere in the 75% of your 1rm range. Its not a power building structure. Also worth noting, the 5 rep range and over 20 rep range takes the longest to recover from. The best recovery also seems to take place in that 8-15 rep range with that 75ish percent load. Thats not my opinion, that is what science is suggesting based on recent studies.

Think Eddie got like 45 (he went first) and second place was Brian Shaw with like 33. They couldn’t get near him. Fairly certain it was after he won WSM as well so would have been officially retired. Nick Best and the other guy who did their TV show came third and fourth with slightly less than Brian. Eddie got like 30% more reps than a four time WSM. Just phenomenal.

    Exercise scientists often say not doing full reps is questionable, constant tension is often just a buzz word and doing massive rep counts isn't very efficient, but then again his anatomy is quite on another level. This is what they refer to as modifying the exercises for the goal, sport specific training or intensity techniques. At that strength 120 kg dumbbell would be such a high risk for shoulder health, to get injured in something that's not your competitive lift. Makes much more sense to lower the weight and keeping the tension up to challenge the muscle more safely. And frankly the lower weight should also ease up the fatigue while still providing effective stimulus. Which is probably part of why he isn't doing bench press instead (massive weight, a lot of fatigue).
    Great look at ways to customise your training to your needs at professional level.
