Who uses full range of motion??

[CARTEL]

On pressing movements (bench, military, skullcrushers, squats) NO

I think people should go deep as possible for squats.

I meant I go all the way down and get a full stretch of the muscle and then come back up about 95% of the way to keep pressure off of the joints and on the muscle I am trying to stimulate

 A guy asked me about his form one time and I told him "Fuck form.....go heavy as a ni66ers cock until you put some size on, THEN worry about form and shit "

[GoneAway]

By using proper form and full ROM, you're (theoretically) stressing the muscle to its fullest capacity.

By limiting the ROM and using improper form, you're asking other muscles to take over from the targeted muscle, and stressing less fibres of the targeted muscle group.

X2 look at all the pro bbers vs the regular gym rats....gym rats are top notch.

What does the targeted muscle do.....take a break?

If you are going heavy enough for ancillary muscle groups to be taxed it would stand to reason the primary muscle group is getting worked pretty hard

on copious amounts of juice...doing pushups would make them grow

I didn't say the ancillary muscle groups would be taxed; just that they would take over. In a cheat barbell curl with the elbows swinging back and forth, gravity isn't as strong with your upper arms parallel to the ground at the finishing point, nor with the momentum and the help of your anterior deltoids swinging them up to help move the bar. The biceps are handling more weight for about 1/4 of the ROM, when they could handle just a bit less for the entire ROM.

Cheat curls are better for many than strict, i think someone named Arnold believes this.

As far as injury, sometimes complete ROM are harder on the connective tissues. As far as "stressing the muscle through the entire range" there's not much proof that this is necessary or that it makes a difference.

I think some who favor full ROM just think that it equals harder work and therefore a better workout, which isn't necessarily true.

[Ursus]

also say ppl who bench from chest to half rep...say than can do 315x5...I would be extremely surprised if they could bench 340 properly full ROM...whereas a 315x5 done properly might get 355lbs

[RC Money]

OK CANDIZZLE....next your gonna tell me to isolate the inner triceps only movement using the bench press and then ask me how many times we bench press 275.8lbs.

That made no fucking sense...Take some english courses bud 

[RC Money]

What you're saying is mostly true, but the point is: I didn't ask for your two cents.

No you did not, but the thread starter sort of did 
I appreciate you reading my post though

Candy,hows your cycle going?

Candi??? I have proven I'm a real person, a member of this board even has my "space" page proving my reality 
You on the other hand have no proof of non-gimmickry.

Settle down Candi..we are all gimmicks its the internet..Are you still running insulin?

That's the truth around here.
I've never been part of a board of any kind where peole just make gimmick accounts cause it's cool like they do here.

Oh man, now I'm Candizzle even though we don't remotly look like each other  I was not trying to sound like a know it all like you're implying this candi guy does, simply replying to the thread at hand.

[TechnoViking]

full range and strict form is important when you are first starting out...Not until you understand the contraction should you then swag away from it...Then you will never look back...

[JOCKTHEGLIDE]

I know a guy in the gym at golds in pheonix the personal trainer told him to go low as possible on squats so now what he is a squat, sits down indian style, then comes back up though he does not do much weight, but its intersting to watch him come back up and down from standing to indian sitting BRUTUAL 

[musclecenter]

I use full range of motion over 35 years!
And Milos says"Partial rep, partial development"

I guess thats why Cutler doesn't train with Milo's

your a newbie on the board you get a free pass.......

Not Dennis Wolf that's for sure! Great advert for not doing so.

[Get Rowdy]

Partial reps from stretched position are useful.  I like doing full ROM to failure, then finishing with partials.

100% correct !
