I like doing full range movements. However, with bad shoulders, I can only do so much. For example, when doing shoulder presses, I only go to my ears with the bars or db's. Anything else, however, is done full range.
HAHA, RON.....

I believe in full range motion when using dumbells I concentrate on eccentric movement so much that I let it go past my rib cage to get a full stretch at the bottom somtime my elbows touch the floor all for full range motion.

Proper ROM for dumbbells/bar with shoulders is really only required to be lowered to the bridge of the nose anyway dude, so i mean anything past that and you're putting unnecessary strain on the joint

Doesn't doing the full ROM take the tension off the muscle?

HUH? The only way to take the tension off the muscle is to rack the weight.

BSB, any thought that you might actually lift weights was totally abolished with that statement. ;D

no offense man but didn't you have a video where you were doing half rep inclines?

i don't do inclines anymore for this reason..i can't get the bar to touch my chest without tucking and on an incline, if you tuck it..you hit deep...hit deep you missed the lift. And i keep getting hurt

I use an almost exagerated range of motion on every excercise. I beleive in working out with a full stretch and squeeze. I like to appear completely at ease with a weight, only I know when a weight feels heavy or not to me, that comes with experience. I'll go so far as to say that if I see someone not using a full rom I think 1 He's a beginner, 2 He couldn't lift half that the right way 3 he's liting for the wrong reasons, and 4 his credibility goes out the window immediately.

Meso, remember you were asking about your triceps a few weeks back and the lateral head...
maybe a radical or silly idea...why not try locking out on pressing
maybe try for 4 weeks...see if it works...just an idea

well theres different points of tension and different recruited muscle groups throughout a repetition, locking out for example, joint helps alot there.

I had a similar problem before. Dropped weight way back down used full ROM and built it backup to where it is now.

Obviously you know your own body etc, though def a difference between pain and discomfort...i found it strengthed my shoulders
