Snatch-Grip RDL, Half Rep at Top

The 1.5 method is simple: Perform full reps of an exercise with partial reps between each. Although 1.5 means "one-and-a-half," quarter reps can also be used.

One benefit: This method adds time under tension (TUT) to the portion of an exercise you might otherwise be under-loading.

Determine the strongest half or quarter of an exercise, then do an extra half or quarter rep in that portion. It doesn't matter how big the partial reps are – no one will be measuring with a goniometer.

As a general rule, just avoid going through your sticking point. This will vary from exercise to exercise. For example, in a deadlift, if you struggle just below your knees, then stay above them for the extra partial reps. Another example is the snatch-grip RDL, as shown in the video. – Gareth Sapstead
