This is a very interesting episode that has some heavy hitting take away messages for listeners of all abilities. How does working through a full range of motion compare to working through partial ranges of motion related to improvements in strength and bench press speed? That may seem like a question that doesn't have much real-world impact, but I think you may see the light after listening to this episode. Some abilities transfer to all scenarios of fitness while others may not depending on how you specifically train. The discussion will revolve around training at full range of motion, 2/3 range of motion, or 1/3 range of motion on the bench press and how those training styles will affect your ability to improve at each of these ranges of motion. I think you'll have some pretty heavy hitting arsenal moving forward with your fitness journey after taking a listen to this episode.
