2. Partials Performing less than full range of motion on a given exercise. Similar to Isometric Training, strength is increased throughout the specific range of motion exercised with up to 20% overflow surrounding joint angles. The rational for partials vary.range of motion – A powerlifter performs a specific portion of a lift in which they have a known sticking point. Powerlifter has difficulty locking out so he performs the upper portion of bench press through lock out on a power rack, emphasizing triceps strength

3. Partials 21 s Typically performed for arm curls. 7 repetitions are performed in the lower range of motion (arms straight to 90 degrees) immediately followed by 7 repetitions in the upper range of motion (arms 90 degrees to flexed), and finally 7 repetitions through the full range of motion. The high number of repetitions performed primarily challenge muscular endurance.
