Aloha and Welcome to Week 19 of 
Fitness-Tip Friday!

Tip of the Week:

Partial Range of Motion Training Benefits

Contrary to what you may have heard or believed, you do NOT want to ALWAYS use full range of motion with your lifts! Incorporating partial range of motion reps into weightlifting regimens has been proven to:

1. Result in greater muscular hypertrophy (size) increases than when using full range of motion alone (see Research Article 1 below)

2. Give you greater control over region-specific hypertrophy, making it easier to focus on building a specific part of a muscle (see Articles 2 & 3)

3) Result in greater muscular strength increases (see Article 5)

4) Allow muscles to carry greater load (see Article 6)

5) Result in less muscle damage and injury (see Article 6)

While there are a few different theories on the exact mechanisms behind exactly how partial range of motion training yields these benefits (see Article 4), the benefits themselves are significant and undeniable, having been replicated in study after study with both compound and isolation exercises - which is why rep partials are integrated into every Dr. Gains training program! 💪

APPLICATION: Be sure to include partial range of motion reps in your training regimen!!
