Essential Random Gym Thoughts Revisited...

What Yall think of this ?


TLDW he's basically talking about half reps and how staying in the lower half can provide benefits and shouldn't be discounted as "cheating" or whatever. I don't know how this would translate to lifting heavier weights but I did notice it's popular with people doing push-ups and other calisthenics

Hard to say. I’d want to see more in the research he cited,

People should really bask themselves if having their client training them primarily on glute work is what they really want as. 30 something year old man that isn’t in shape

For a lot of reasons just how this gym is but seems like a waste of time and $

Quite the finesse by the trainer

There is some new research that shows lower half reps are just as hypertrophic as full reps. There's more studies coming out in 2025 on the topic to test for different exercises, but I'd say what he's saying is pretty accurate. I didn't watch the video, but I know a lot of inmates swear by the half rep push ups. Jay Cutler would do half reps on chest work to keep the tension on the chest throughout the set.
