Is this the study Jeff Nippard was involved in?

Shout out to John Meadows RIP, Jeff Nippard, Dr Milo, Dr Pak and the whole stretch emphasis hypertrophy gains gang!

Lengthened partials detected, opinion accepted 👍

[adriano]

Another issue I find with lengthened partials is that it's kind of harder for me to track overtime because I can't really gauge whether my muscle gave out on the last rep to failure or not because it's easier to complete a half rep vs a full rep. Add in the strength/health benefits that have not really been explored with partials vs full ROM and it's not enough to switch to it imo. Great vid as always bro

[aaron_d_henderson]

TLDR: they are the same, so you're not wrong if you prefer lengthened partials over full ROM, or vice versa.

[adamblackshaw]

My takeaway is that once you cannot complete a full ROM, you can still crank out several more long length partials which will contribute to hypertrophy. You don't need to stop the set when you've hit that annoying sticking point in the rep.

I think the best way to use this info is do close to a full ROM biasing the force curve to the lengthened portion and only go as far in the shortened portion where you can maintain tension.

As HoH says, each new data point should only change our minds a little bit.

That's Jeff niphard study 2 legends in science based lifting!

[Pablo-nszk]

The best way: train with full ROM and conclude with partials at the last or couple set/s. And very important, apply this, in exercises that it doesn't accumulate a considerable amount of fatigue (such as freeweights and with barbell, leg press, squats/squats machine-dumbell, barbell hip hinges, ...). In summary, exercises that involve a lot of muscles, without stability, and with high fatigue ratio.

It's really interesting to see the difference in results between untrained and trained people when researching science on resistance training. Thank you for covering for this study! I've been interested in this one since Jeff Nippard mentioned it.

[Funancialism]

I remember hearing that if you are training one body part in isolation, the other body also gets stimulated. So...idk

@6:09 I thought preacher curls built more muscle than incline curls due to the force curve of the preacher curl being greater at the lengthed part of the motion according to the study that directly compared the two.

[stingrae]

The problem is having both conditions on the same group does confound the results as cross education is a thing...

[NobleTruths]

One point that I haven't seen discussed, but seems important to me, is that lengthened partials may cause less fatigue and (hence) allow for greater force output. This greater force should allow for a greater stimulus and muscle growth. I would be interested to see this explored in a study.

[alcxander]

I wonder will we ever see a program designed specifically around long length partials with the aim being to cut time in routine to squeeze one more exercise/mobility work in to an average length exercise session.

[chandansimms]

For weighted neutral grip pull ups and machine preacher curls lengthened partials feel good but for movements such as dumbell shoulder press it doesn’t feel natural

[omegaman_]

Incline curls builds more muscle at the proximal region & preacher curls builds muscle at the distal region, i wonder if concentration curls builds muscle as the middle region.?

[SnakeAndTurtleQigong]

Thank you so much, my friend!
I love knowing that success is available to people with limitations of joint range of motion!

[mcbain]

Interesting, this means we can log our reps as full rom reps + partials meaning we can go heavier in weight. Example if I can go 12 full ROM reps with certain weight I could jump to a weight where I can do 8+4 or 6+6 something like that.

But this might be useful in the last set I guess.
