BOF Posted April 29, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'm not aligning to either of them. I'm not wrong because I don't do either of them. You're just angry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArteSuave Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I think ddid is suggesting that there are valid uses for partial ROM bench and for you to classify it as a cheat makes you wrong. I agree that there are several situations where a partial ROM is useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted April 29, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 29, 2013 OK fairy nuff. To me they're both just cheating yourself. If you can't do a full ROM then you're lifting too heavy. If you're half-repping because of an injury then that's about the only acceptable reason IMHO. Basically, proper form or GTFO! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shillzz Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I tend to pyramid my benches a little. I start off at a comfortable weight, absolutely nailing the form, nice and slowly. Then I build it up over 2/3 sets to a weight where I'm struggling to get it all the way down, then I ease it back down again over the next 2 or 3 sets. I get some good form in there, but I always have atleast 1 set where I'm trying to push my body beyond it's current capabilities, which is where my form isn't so great.

Stevo985 Posted April 29, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2013 I can see where DDID is coming from. If you haven't got a spotter, it's a good way to work your way up to a lift if you're at a point where you can lift a certain weight, but the minimum increase to the next weight is slightly beyond you. Personally, I'd rather keep the form solid and have the spotter take some weight off. As long as you're not progressing until you can lift it with perfect form I don't see the problem either way.

Ginko Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 I'd extend that to any 'Like' on Facebook. Oh wow, you like it... great stuff.

BOF Posted April 29, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 29, 2013 Even if you've only remembered someone's birthday because of facebook, always send them an SMS. It means a lot more.

Popular Post AVFC_Hitz Posted April 29, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted April 29, 2013 Well...seeing as this is relevant to me today. I've just 'liked' all of my Birthday messages. It just a little nod to know you appreciate the effort that, yes they've seen it's your Birthday and took a few seconds to acknowledge that. My mum still hasn't called me... 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the reason that I do not like Facebook and instead of having to put something on that mess I just like the comment to let the person know I saw and, well, like their comment. **** off am I spending half an hour on Facebook just to respond to everyone!
