The Significance of Muscle Adaptations and Varying Range of Motion

This chapter explores the importance of muscle adaptations from stretch-mediated hypertrophy and the significance of training muscles at a moderate length. It discusses the concept of lengthened partials and how different ranges of motion can activate different muscles, using examples of the quadriceps, lats, and pecs. The chapter also debates whether lengthened partials are worth it in terms of muscle growth and highlights the importance of stimulus, fatigue, and neuro-mechanical matching in achieving desired results.
