Welcome back to another episode of Arnold's Pump Club.

One of my favorite things about working out in public gyms instead of my home gym

is seeing all the people they're coming together with the same goal.

To do some work to be fitter today than they were before.

As you can imagine, I'm not shy about giving pointers in the gym.

Back in the golden era of bodybuilding when we were all

training together whether it was at Golds or Vince's gym we were constantly

learning from each other. We were watching and copying whenever we saw someone trying a new exercise.

But these days the most common thing I'm telling people is to stop doing half reps or quarter reps.

There is an epidemic of people not doing a full movement and it worries me.

If you've ever been near me in the gym you've probably heard me tell somebody to stop doing half

reps. Here's why it worries me. We go to the gym for all the benefits of being

fit and

you're only getting half of the movement, you're only getting half of the benefits.

I worry that the people who do half reps in the gym

they're just to check a box, and they aren't concerned about whether they're making

the most of their half hour or hour of training.

I completely understand that there are bad days where we all have to force ourselves to the gym just to go through the motions.

But if that's what you're doing, then go through the motions.

We know that resistance training with a full range of motion is just as powerful as stretching for increasing flexibility and mobility.

We know training with a full range of motion is the most efficient way to gain strength and

muscle.
