Partial Range Of Motion: Broscience Or Legit?

  • Many people argue that partial reps are better for muscle growth because they allow for constant tension, more weight and the best IFBB pro bodybuilders seem to use partials. But what does the science say about range of motion (ROM) and muscle growth?

    In this video I'm covering the common arguments for and against using a full range of motion for hypertrophy. The most common arguments against using a full ROM are: more weight, constant tension (mid-range) and the fact that most IFBB Pros use partials. Is there any truth to these claims and what does the science have to say?

      misalignment of joints and lack of correct distribution of weight and power onto bones is irrellevant in reg. to drugs or not, drugs may even improve that, as you can get high on being on drugs like roids allso, and allso rec. drugs, cause it intensifies awareness and attention via dopamine up and so make you more aware to sense body right, if your focusing on this vs. ignoring this. this is allso often the problem with using music for training, it takes away focus on alignment and thinking about what your dooing, like robert m. pirsig write about in zen and the art of motorcyclemaintainance... and a body is much like a mc .

    As a general rule: you should strive for full range of motion on compound movements and experiment with partials for isolation/single joint exercises, this includes free weights and machines. I switched to partials for all of my tricep cable work and my gains were INFINITELY BETTER. Its all about learning your own anatomy and objectively evaluating your training to see what works best for your physiology.

    I would like to offer additional explanation for the limitations of these studies and why they showed mixed results comparing the partial and full ROM sets. Going through full ROM of an exercise doesn't necessarily mean full ROM of a joint or traveling from the maximum lengthened to the maximum shorted position of the muscle. For example, a typical rowing exercise only involves the shoulder moving from 0 to 90 degrees of shoulder flexion. Considering the shoulder can travel around 180 degrees into flexion, the full ROM of the exercise is already missing around half the available shoulder ROM and potential change in length of the posterior deltoid/ latissimus dorsi. If you picture length tension's bell shaped curve, the full ROM of the row goes from one tail end of the curve to the peak of the curve.
    www.aprioriathletics.com/acurvelt.gif
    I would argue that instead of doing a "full ROM" normal row from 0-90 degrees of shoulder flexion, doing a "partial ROM" high row from 45 to 135 degrees would give the same 90 degree arc of motion and encompass the much higher tension levels of the length tension curve.
    To improve the usefulness of studies like these, a few things need to be done. 1. Don't try comparing exercises that already have a very limited joint ROM to begin with, because the comparison isn't really "full ROM vs partial ROM," it essentially becomes "partial ROM vs VERY partial ROM." 2. After an exercise with decent joint ROM has been selected, the comparison should use the middle half of the ROM instead of the beginning or end half. This would likely put the partial ROM into the high tension sections, instead of one of the two tail ends on the length tension curve in which the muscle is overly shortened or lengthened to begin with. For example, the middle half of the squat instead of the top half that was used in the study cited in the video. There are still many limitations and once you try accounting for the issues that arise when polyarticular muscles are involved, it can get really confusing. However, this would at least be a good start so we can get meaningful data going forward.
    Hope this is helpful, and if anyone has questions or something to add/critique, just let me know.

    I found this too. A year ago, I stopped squatting heavy, dropped the weight, and focused on getting my squat as deep as possible. My legs exploded doing sets of 20 with 225, instead of squatting 315 to parallel. Any time I can get more gains from lifting LESS, I will. Im not trying to wear my body out, Im trying to build muscle.

    Great video! as always. Can you do a video on training anatomy (ie hypertrophy, therapy, rehab, prehab, corrective, etc) vs training skills (ie sport specific, practical/"functional", movement specific, endurance, strength, explosiveness, etc)? Assuming many athletes want to be as specific as possible, it seems that the importance of addressing weaknesses/limiting factors requires a different approach (obviously depending on the individual and their goals).

    I did a training block with “constant tension” squats a few blocks ago to try it out, didn’t have any benefit really. I had to use much less weight and it was mostly cardio that caused me to have to end the set. For reference this was during a hypertrophy block and I train for powerlifting so I’m focused on increasing my 1rm. Seeing as how I had to use so much less weight that could be one reason I didn’t get much out of it.

      @@dard4642 it was more cardiovascularly taxing to me without as much of a stimulus for the muscle since I had to stop closer to cardio failure than muscular failure lol even if you have to stop at the top to breathe though if you get more reps in then it’s still more total time under tension so it honestly is less optimal than being able to rest a bit at the top. The only exception I can think of is for a metabolite accumulation set or something but even then I’d assume myo reps would be more useful

    • @danvodicka4347
      @danvodicka4347 3 года назад +2

      Yeah I wouldn't call it a sin either. Especially in more advanced moves. Like doing a partial HSPU and gradually increasing the ROM is a very solid way to break through plateaus, since you can accumulate more volume. Same with OAC - for example if your deadhand to half part of the OAC is weaker I see nothing wrong with doing partials in order to accumulate volume. Same can be said for weighted pullups/dips but I would use it only as an accessory there, to strengthen some weakness.

    • @VitalityFitnessScience
      @VitalityFitnessScience 3 года назад +2

      Dont misunderstand me guys I do not share the opinion, when doing partials you definitely increase volume as you do not have any breaks and reach hypertrophy faster. I just mean thats what is generally said 😄

    • @DevinDTV
      @DevinDTV 3 года назад +4

      calisthenics is more focused on achieving a skill rather than a physique, so achieving full range of motion is part of the goal. for example if someone wants to be able to do a muscle up, they want to be able to do a full muscle up with good form. that's the goal. naturally they're going to use full range of motion once they achieve that goal. that said, there's nothing wrong with partials.

  • @MarcosLacombe
    @MarcosLacombe Год назад +3

    I think you've missed an important point on the discussion, that is comparing lenghtened partials vs shortened partials vs full ROM, not only shortened partials vs full ROM. In all of your examples of partials you mentioned cutting the most stretched part of the exercise, but there's a growing body of evidence that the stretched part is the most important part of the movement in terms of hypertrophy. This could favor a partial ROM that comes from the most stretched part to half-way through.
    The only exercise that you've mentioned where the partials were done on the stretched part was the skull crusher, which was the one that showed greater results.
    There could be a case for partial squats that, instead of only dropping a bit, you go all the way down but don't go all the way up in every rep, go from ass to grass up to maybe a quarter-squat, for example.
    Flow High Performance and House of Hypertrophy have good videos on this concept, I think it's worth looking into.

    • @nanatzaya
      @nanatzaya 9 месяцев назад

      I think in one of recent videos he adressed this briefly. Lengthend partials should be benefitial, if you can get them. The point of partials in the shortened position is that you're usually stronger in that shortened position so with higher weight, you may not be able to do lengthend partials. Though i'd lean to doing lengthend partials due to the higher growth potential in the strechted position - if you can do them. Also regarding this video not adressing this: keep in mind that this is an older video and the evidence for the benefit of being in the lengthend state for longer is more recent. As for your example on partial squats: the lower portion of the lift is much harder. If you fail it's most likely in the first third of the concentric so there is no point to this kind of partials. If you get out of the hole, the rest of the squat is quite easy.
      On the other hand tricep extensions, chest flys, leg extensions and leg curls and a few others should be great for employing lengthend partials. For squats, bench press and preacher curls i don't see myself doing more lengthend partials then full rom reps, so why do them?

    It’s wild to think that there’s people that think limiting the range of motion with a higher load means that you’re getting more out of it. Your bro squat is the perfect example. If you can do partial reps in a way that increases TUT with a reasonable stimulus on the muscle more power to you but most of the time I feel like it’s just people ego lifting with incomplete form.

  • @greygardens81
    @greygardens81 3 года назад

    Great video, Jeff. I'm 1 year into lifting and naturally found myself restricting my ROM on stuff like alternating dumbbell curls so that my inactive arm was still under a little tension. Same with things like skull crushers. It just feels more productive to increase TUT by any means on upper body isolation movements and focus on full ROM on compound and lower body stuff.
    Keep up the good work and congratulations on the new home base in Ontario

    I really like the video and always love a good discussion about such topics:) But I also would've liked if you discussed the risks of injuries in extreme joint positions. I think that full ROM can definitely increase the risk of getting injured if joint stability is not 100% there(I don't think a lot of people know about their joint stability if they hadn't been previously injured). So I would differentiate ideal ROM from full ROM because ideal is just really different from person to person.

    I use partials frequently to work past failure. Great video. I wish you spent some time discussing any theories around how partials may be safer when trying to avoid injury on a specific lift you have had troubles with in the past. I just feel like they can be a solid tool for building strength in an area you either previously injured or are working through an injury on.
    Related: I wonder if this is why a lot of pros use partials... constant tension seems to reduce risk of muscle tears.

    This is great as always. Thank you! I think it’s interesting to think about how hyper trophy and strength also changes with multi joint muscles (work better in mid range) compared to single joint muscles, as well as the positioning of the athlete against gravity that would change how hard a muscle has to work through the full range.

  • @962RACER
    @962RACER 3 года назад +1

    Very informative video as usual Jeff. Regarding partials, I've seen elite powerlifters like Cailer Woolam and Mark Bell also use them for a "sticky" spot or a weakpoint as well (lockouts etc), but i'd venture a guess that, as you've mentioned, this is more relevant to the advanced and elite levels for well rounded development. I guess at that point it's for extreme specificity rather than trying to maximize general hypertrophy or strength through a wide range of motion.
