Are lengthened partials "worth it"?

The hosts debate whether lengthened partials are worth it in training, weighing the stimulus gained against the fatigue incurred. They explore the effects of fatigue on hypertrophy and the lack of studies comparing full range of motion with partial range of motion. The importance of muscle adaptations from stretch-mediated hypertrophy and the significance of training muscles at a moderate length are discussed. The concept of failure in fatigue physiology literature is examined, as well as the relationship between neuro-mechanical matching and length-tension. They also discuss exercise selection for muscle mass gain and the limitations of certain studies in exercise science.
