Ehh that’s a bit of myth. As long as you place the muscle under enough mechanical tension and create metabolic stress and muscle damage you will create the stimulus necessary to drive hypertrophy. While I too prefer full ROM in most cases, one can definitely achieve optimal muscle gain without full ROM.

I’m gonna punt on this one.

Trying to figure out the latest hypertrophy science is a rabbit hole as deep as Bitcoin itself.

For sure. The fitness industry is almost as confusing and filled of nonsense as the health/nutrition space. In both cases most of the actually effective guidance and principles are decades if not centuries old, but if you want to sell programs or gather a following you need novelty. Jay Vincent and Doug Brignole have good first principles info.

Exactly. I just stick to progressive overload and do basic shit with good form.

Check out Doug’s discussion/debate with mike izraetel and his appearance on Mark Bell’s podcast. Jay Vincent’s podcast with Mark Asanovich is good too.
