Welcome to a captivating episode of the Citizen Athletics Show! Join hosts Dr. Sam Spinelli and Dr. Teddy Willsey as they explore the fascinating world of full range of motion (ROM) training. In this illuminating discussion, Sam and Teddy delve into what constitutes full ROM, the advantages and disadvantages of training through a full range of motion, and the strategic use of partial ROM exercises.

Understanding the nuances of ROM training is essential for optimizing performance and reducing the risk of injury. Dr. Sam and Dr. Teddy dissect the benefits of full ROM exercises for enhancing flexibility, mobility, and hypertrophy, while also addressing the potential drawbacks such as limited force production and power development.

With practical insights and evidence-based recommendations, they offer actionable advice for integrating both full and partial ROM training into your workout routine.
