Good info but without proper form people are still going to be lost. Medial and posteriour delts and back movements especially seem to be the most challenging.

yes, i have found some youtube links that if you type in the exercise you may find somebody demonstrating the proper form, which i will refer back to periodicially if i switch over to a more advanced technique.

I swear partial range of motion is at its all time worst. I remember when it used to be just with squats now its everywhere. Half the kids I see doing bench presses are stopping the bar a good 12-16 inches from their chest. I kid you not, there was a chunky dude in the gym yesterday doing smith machine shoulder presses right in front of me while I was doing cardio. He piled 3 plates per side and proceeded to stop the bar an inch above the top of his head. He was lucky if he was getting a 4 inch range of motion. I started laughing so hard I about fell off my treadmill.

haha good call, its such a compound movement i couldnt figure which muscle group to put it in.. lets just say squats and deads are universally accepted as musts!

ive seen worse especially wiht my age group... its more about the weight than the form..the same young kids that juice, eat liek shit, do drugs, and cannot use good form if it slapped them in the face..

I hear a lot of kids talking about never going past 90 degree's on elbows & knees. Sissy necks.

I personally dont or have my clients because IMO past 90 degrees the benefits dont outweigh the risks

[Hunter-S-Thompson]

Are you stating that with a bench press movement you dont allow the elbow to go past 90 degrees?

[eatrainrest]

For working the chest specifically, isn't stopping short of a full extension better?

U DA MAN! eatrainrest!!!

what's your logic behind this?

[eatrainrest]

U DA MAN! eatrainrest!!!

happy fathers day JBM!

If you mean not full extension as in not locking out at the top of the movement, yes. If you are referring to not getting a complete stretch at the bottom of the movement no. I rarely lock out any movements to keep the stress on my joints to a minimum. I will lock out doing squats when I am digging for those last 5 reps and need a breath at the top.

[Alphatier]

Oh another one for Tri's are Reverse Dips(palms facing outwards when gripping the bar).

Man I'm telling you, everybody that hasn't tried them definately should...that is if you wrist can handle it.

Good info

i have people argue with me that when doing bench press you should only go half way up cause it "keeps tension on the chest".

[Alphatier]

i have people argue with me that when doing bench press you should only go half way up cause it "keeps tension on the chest".

Well when you do bench press and don't lock out your elbows at the top, then yeah you're keeping constant tension on your chest, I believe.

If you watch Ronnie Coleman bench press, that is exactly how he does it.

[eatrainrest]

well whenh you lock out you forward the pressure to the joints.. thats why most people dont or shouldnt lock out on most exercises

[eatrainrest]

i still wouldnt say half way up as this does not allow a full contraction of the muscle.. so your cutting yourself short...
