Episode notes
Training muscles, particularly biceps, through a full range of motion is crucial for optimal hypertrophy. Studies demonstrate that full extension and contraction significantly outperforms partial movements, which do not allow for full muscle lengthening. Recent research by experts like Dr. Milo Wolf underscores the importance of the lengthened phase of muscle activity, indicating that focusing on the lower third of the bicep’s range yields greater muscle growth than when incorporating the entire range. Therefore, prioritizing complete motion over incomplete forms during exercise maximizes muscle development.
