Use Full- and Partial- Range of Motion Training for Best Results

Full-range of motion exercises are critical for strength and performance gains, but partial-range of motion lifts also have an essential time and place. In general, full-range of motion lifts will lead to greater strength and hypertrophy gains, while partial-range exercises are great for overcoming plateaus and sports-specific training. Also partial-range training isn’t as “functional” for the recreational trainee. For more advanced lifters, partial-range training can allow you to work on a sticking point in the lift, and isometric pauses in an advantageous position can help you overcome plateaus. A new study published in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning provides further guidance for programming range of motion.
