Would someone please explain to me what the hell is with all this partial rep $hit????????
i'm not even talking about the 1/4 squat thing which has been around forever (and not with big strong people doing board presses or partial reps on purpose)

I'm talking about regular (weak) people doing bench and shoulder presses where people go down to a 90 degree bend in the elbow and then stop
WTF??????
bench press TOUCH THE FREAKING CHEST, TOUCH THE FREAKING SHOULDERS
full range of motion

seriously, where did this stupid idea come from? (it's never on big strong people either, I wonder why)

Not sure, I tend to only pay attention to what I'm doing at the gym.....

Unless of course she is smoking hot!

Shoulder press with dumb bells I stop at 90 degrees.

Shoulder press with dumb bells I stop at 90 degrees.

Likewise

Certain exercises, excessive range of motion is unnecessary and even harmful.

The personal trainer I was going to for about a year said that there is no more benefit to going more than 90 degrees/parallel to the floor and you open up the possibility of injury exponentially.

Do you always get so wound up about how other people exercise?

I've been forced to limit my range of motion on a number of exercises due to joint degradation. Now that my body is breaking down, I wish I'd had the sense to limit the range of motion in my younger days when all the damage was actually being done.
