Well yes the gastroc has a special length tension relationship and its leverages are favourable in that position its why your calves are so strong lengthened
@@AfghanhulkFinally, someone who’s got their thinking cap switched on 🧢 . When life throws people into a position that they’re totally unprepared for: BOOM. Of course we probably can’t strengthen every last joint through every possible range but full ROM greatly helps mitigate passive injury to the joints and connective tissues
John Meadows was a visionary, I was experimenting with lengthened partials as far back as 2017 because of that man. Still so grateful for his contributions to the world of health and fitness 🙏
Ive been doing the lengthened partials for my calves over the last month and i can definitely see the difference in growth compared to my previous calves workouts! You rock Jeff 💪🏼💯
You can see a difference in your calves over the course of a month when this is a muscle that takes months to even add a single inch and years to see a noticeable difference??
@@deveshgarg7974 yes! Previously I only did full ROM, 10-20 reps for 10-12 sets between 2-3 exercises. Took forever and it was very difficult to stimulate them enough for me to feels DOMS kick in a couple days later. What I've been doing the last few weeks which has really helped with my own personal growth is: 2 calf exercises, 4 sets each. You must give 110% each set. Start with 8-10 reps of full ROM, where your 10th rep is at failure. Immediately follow those full ROM reps with lengthened partials until failure using the same weight. Once you reach failure with the partials, hold the stretch at the bottom of the movement for 20-30 seconds. If your calves aren't screaming bloody murder at you, increase the weight a little bit. Maximum rest between sets is 30-45 seconds. Gotta keep the fire burning in the calves 🔥
@@justicechuks7303progress starting with lower weights to build tendon strength first. In any case it's very difficult to tear your Achilles if you're doing slow controlled movements. Achilles ruptures almost always occur to sports people doing fast dynamic movements.
Additionally, I would say, by similar logic, these are pretty solid choices for LPs as well: 2b) vertical pulling (like pulldowns) 3b) triceps overhead/pushdowns 4b) leg extensions
@@n._loay If you had said 3b I would guess I know where you're coming from, and I would still say do them. But by mixing both 2b and 3b I've got no clue what you're going on about. Can you elaborate?
As part of your minimalist, and power building techniques I’ve been adding LP and rest partials to my last set for pretty much all my lifts and it’s been a game changer. I’m saving time (which is great when working out with 1-2 other people) and I’m definitely seeing the benefits.
Just earned a subscriber! As someone who is in law enforcement I legit started taking working out at the gym serious do to one of my colleagues pushing me to go . I can honestly say the gym is all I care about now . Glad I came across you
Preacher curls, my absolute love at the gym! I never finish a pull day without these bad boys, absolutely killing the biceps and feeling you really pumped
I do this too thanks to your recent study, I basically do lengthened partials at the end of every set on any applicable exercise. I burn out full rom then do lengthened partials until I can’t move at all
@@TheHardyGamesOfficial That doesn't make as much sense. Here's why: If you have the ROM in the lengthened position you already have mobility in the shortened position. For example, it would be impossible to have enough ROM to touch your toes but not have enough ROM to touch your shins. Another way of putting it is this: If you can do 10 reps, you can definitely do 1 rep. It would be impossible for someone to be able to do 10 reps but not be able to do just 1 with the same weight. A third example. If you have 1 million dollars, you DEFINATELY have 20k, because you have to have 20k to have 1 million. Similarly, it would be impossible to have mobility in a lengthened position but lack mobility in a shortened position.
@@dereinekurde5270 No, I don't need a study to show that, if you have 10 apples, you have at least 3. This is because 3 is less than 10. (This is a basic fundamental law of logic) My claim was that, if you have mobility in a lengthened position, you have mobility in a shortened position. There are 2 requirements for what I said to be true: 1. Muscles are stronger as they shorten. 2. If A is greater than B, you must at least have B to have A. (This is a fundamental law of logic) If both of these are true, so what I said must be true by logical extension. Let's address each one individually. 1. Muscles are stronger as they shorten. It is a scientific fact that muscles are stronger in shortened positions than in lengthened positions. For example, if you squat but only go 1 inch down, you can lift more weight than if you go all the way down. 2. If A is greater than B, then you must at least have B to have A. If you can squat 315 lbs for 1 rep, you can DEFINATELY squat 5 lbs for 1 rep. To say otherwise would be breaking the fundamental laws of logic itself. If you can do something harder, you can do something easier. If you couldn't do the easier thing, you wouldn't be able to do the harder thing. If you can't do the easier thing, it isn't easier (by definition). Conclusion: Whatever the strength of a muscle is when lengthened, it is STRONGER in a shortened position, so if you have enough mobility in a lengthened position (weaker), you MUST have enough mobility in a shortened position (stronger).
@@serban2139 not necessarily proven wrong, there are clearly some muscles that benefit from lengthened partials over full ROM, it's just that in general, it's mostly the same, and the stretched aspect still appears to be the most important part of the majority of lifts.
@@GatoSander0 fair. Also, anecdote, but my strongest and biggest muscles in my body were never trained(directly, isolated, focused) or exposed to the stretch.. until I see more convincing studies on this, truth is...we don't know.
@serban2139 no it didn't 😅 it just showed that partials are equally as good as full rom, and that tge stretched position is indeed the most important part of the movement.
The point of full ROM is that you strengthen your muscles, joints and connective tissue in that position. If you neglect a particular range of motion because you only care about fluffing up your muscles, then you’re setting yourself up for a nice injury if/when you do find yourself in that position when you’re moving around, or playing a sport, or getting in/out of your car, walking up or down stairs, moving boxes, carrying groceries, walking on uneven surfaces, fighting, running, etc etc. Push, pull, lunge, squat, hinge, twist, and gait (walk/run) are the 7 most basic movement patterns. It’s worth paying attention to these and ensuring you can do them well, with progressive resistance. That’s what’ll trigger meaningful adaptation that’ll actually be useful in your day-to-day, particularly as you age up. Jeff makes a good point here about what the research appears to indicate but, for the average person, I think you might be shooting yourself in the foot by doing only lengthened partials.
GREAT video. I would say the logic applies mainly to bodybuilders since muscle growth is the main aspect. For ppl lifting for sports, finishing the lift is the way to go. And I’m not consecending when I say that this honestly is a good person u should listen too
I've been doing lengthened partials on all my isolation exercises, it makes some of them harder, and makes some of them easier, but overall I've definitely noticed a difference
For preacher curls it really depends on the resistance profile. Biceps do grow better from longer lengths, so if a machine is heaviest near the bottom there is nothing wrong with using full rom, if it's heavier more so at the top, a lengthened partial to 90° would make sense, since you're still overloading the lengthened position. The reason the study showed better growth with a lengthened partial, is because one group did a partial in the lenghtened position and the other in the shortened postion, and since biceps benefit from longer lengths and the brachioradialis is more active in the top half, the biceps grows better with the long length partial 👍
Also one of the reasons why I suspect the study done by Jeff and colleagues didn't achieve statistical significance on biceps growth: it appears the subjects only performed standing biceps curls, which present virtually no resistance at longer muscle lengths.
My all time fav bicep exercise is lengthened partials db preacher curls and when i can't lift it anymore i lift the dumb bell with my other hand and do few negatives. My biceps never been bigger.
I started working calves recently and thought that the squeeze at the top didn't make much sense, since it feels like the muscle isn't engaged past a certain point. I'm feeling like an exercise genius right now 😆
if he really is natty he is the best sport influencer out there, because he gives me a realistic example of what you can achieve with science, and i love it
The thing with preacher curls the bottom half of the curl trains you bicsceps, and I think the top half trains radio breacealis, so it could to get a full rep
using unilateral work and using the other hand or leg to do 4 forces reps and some negatives might bring better results - and it includes that range of motion too.
Jeff, please do a study on the effect of squeeze/top half reps on muscle striations. There is a myth that squeezing reps develop more muscle striations.
Jeff can you make a video on one side of body being bigger than the other. Like my entire left side is bigger. My left chest, my left bicep, my left shoulder delt. And the craziest part is that I’m a righty 🥲
When i started seeing little veins and more striations in my calves from doing the partials i knew it was working. Been focusing on lengthened partials on most of my exercises recently. Let's see how it goes in 6 months!
I would say that the amount of stimulus to fatigue doing full ROM as opposed to lengthened partials is doing a session with everything full ROM is twice the amount of work and energy needed for lengthened partials
I have 2 important points to resume this, since I've been implementing partial reps recent months. 1. They add up the time under tension the muscles have, so they are never gonna be a waste of time/energy. 2. They can help on a especial part of the exercise, especially those long ones. It's not the same activating the muscle while extended than while contracted, in terms of strenght it will help a lot, maybe not for a PR, but to be stronger overall. *AND 3*. I would add some controled negatives too, at the end of the last set as well as the partial reps, to sort off do the "half rep" both ways, not just the first contraction part, but the negative also, which will be already contracted and releasing the weight slowly.
But definitely dont negelect the full range of motion, you also want to push the muscle in its weakest position (fully relaxed and fully contracted) since you have suboptimal force development in those ranges so putting it in that state will help with force output when you are in thos ranges
I use partial reps in pretty much every exercice. Starting Full ROM than fighting for ALL partials I can make! Idk I feel it is worth sure its adding something overtime.
Agree with everything except preacher curls. Youre cutting the rom in half for no reason so you have to either use more weight or do more reps to make up the difference. Calf’s do grow better at longer length so that’s ideal, and after failure is a good time for some lengthened partials
Hey jeff i've been watching your channel for about 3 months now and learned a shit ton from your videos!

One more tip. From experience, seated half raises seem to make the lower part of the calves bigger, while standing works best for the upper part.
