Are these two separate questions?
Oh, probably should have elaborated, but there were videos going around recently where someone YouTube guys did a study on full ROM vs lengthened partials. Each person in the study lifted using full ROM with one arm and lengthened partials with the other, then they measured the difference in muscle size after like 8 weeks.
So, no specific question on that, was just thinking a strength training vs hypertrophy training study would almost need something like that where the same person is trying both (but then of course you get into systemic fatigue and of course compound movements where you can't exactly split your body in half).
Mostly just curious if any long term studies have been done where the outcome is "they gained 5% more mass training for hypertrophy" or whatever. [Reply]

It's obviously something that you have to be careful of because you don't want it to affect your mental state too much. But if you can harness that anger in a positive way w weight lifting it can help. [Reply]

There's a top level strongman that's like that. Evan Singleton. He gets so amped up he'll miss a lift that is well within his capability. [Reply]
