I saw a guy on the lat pulldown today that a shrug would have a bigger ROM. I think the only reason the stack was moving was because he was going up and down off the seat pad. Maybe it was some kind of new age, gravity defying, reverse squat?
There was a thing on T-nation a few weeks back where it was a abdominal exercise, kind of crunching whilst seated with arms holding onto the lat pulldown bar. This could be it. Saw a guy at my gym do it not long after the article was posted but never saw him repeat it anytime later.
are you saying half repping overhead press? I see that often because a trainer at my gym instructs his clients to not lockout. He says that top part of motion is all tricep. I thought full rom better but im a noob
guy in our gym recently decided he wanted to do a cross fit instructors course so now tells everyone how he is a qualified cross fit instructor then porceeds to do clean and jerks droppin the weight from over head, normally this wouldnt bother me but our PT troop just shelled out for calibrated Eliko weights for our powerlifting meets and its those he drops from over head. Has been told not to but he still doesnt give a sh!t

I would tell him myself - just say sorry mate but these plates are not designed for what you are doing could you please use different plates - then give him a rough idea of how much they cost - say it is a nice but smart ass way.
Is he also the guy that doesn't bother to put his weights away either?
If some one dropped my ivankos I'd give them one warning then they would never be allowed back. A single 25kg Ivanko is worth nearly $200. The eleiko are worth more then that.

Yes full rom is better, some would say that to not lock your elbows but to press within about an inch of doing so, however ignoring the tricep portion of the rep is a half witted idea if you ask me.

yes mate he dont put his sh!t away, we have told him and so has everyone else but its a military gym and the section that run it dont have the minerals to ban him from the facility. i hope he breaks one and it hits him the in face and blinds him

i think this comes from trainers who have left school and want to be a PT with no real lifitng experience and they hear 'dont lock out' and take it as gospel to only do half reps but what is actually ment is dont lock out to the point you risk hyper-extension

probably had strangest day ever at gym was like stepping into Narnia
as i walk into gym area a chick answers mobile and starts convo with her friend while her trainer just looks at her with a wtf face. Then doing seated overhead db press a skinny guy stands directly behind me and just starts flexing and posing, so awkward. People checking themselves out is fine imo but there was so much room entire area was empty. Similar situation to if you were having a shower and someone ask if could share the shower even though every other shower is empty.. think maybe he liked the lighting?
After i went over to smith machine and this dude is lying on the ground and jerking up and down towards the bar about 1 ft up down. Ok maybe i am just unaware and this is an actual good exercise but I have to say it looks someone having a seizure. After he did his reps to infinity he would look all crazy like he was about to run through a brick wall. need to find new gym
