🚩Lifting Heavier With Partial ROM ≠ Better Hypertrophy It is common to see lifters use heavier loads that they cannot perform through a full range of motion (ROM), resulting in partial or shortened repetitions. However, lifting heavier alone does not guarantee greater muscle hypertrophy. 👉 Muscle hypertrophy is primarily driven by mechanical tension, defined as the force experienced by muscle fibers over time, and it is widely considered the most critical stimulus for increasing muscle protein
