What if question about range of motion

What if question about range of motionWe all know that you should do all the exercises with a full ROM. But is that the most effective way to train? Let's take squats for example. Doing squats with 400lbs is hard. But not entire ROM is hard. First part is relatively easy, when you squat just a couple of inches. The hardest part is when you lower yourself completely down. With that in mind, doing squats with 400lbs doesn't do much for that 'easier' ROM. You choose your weight based on that hardest part. If time isn't a constraint (let's say it's your job to train everyday, the whole day), would it be better for your strength gains to split squats into, Heavy half-squats, and lighter full squats. Do you get what I mean? I don't know if this would be more effective than normal squats or any other exercise that has this 'issue'? submitted by /u/nikolaguca [link] [comments]
