Lots of studies show that partial ROM is inferior in every way. There’s been cool study designs.
This was literally just barely bending the knees. Things can go really bad with that weight too… especially when he clearly didn’t have the base to be using those weights. He was down to 3 inch ROM by the end, but I’m judgy… man can train how man wants to. He doesn’t have to please me
Edit… I will clarify that
I’m speaking hypertrophy here, and everyone has their goals. I’m being a jerk and I’m ok with that… I’m amongst friends
