The idea has been around for a while I think. The concept is extreme amounts of weight for partial reps. There is a book out by Peter Sisco and John Little that addresses "Power Factor Training."
I have done it in the past, and I guess was pleased with some of the results. But I have been doing other types of weight and calistenic workouts recently.
Today I tried it again, and again it seems okay to my body. My quesion is though (to the more experienced weight lifters here) Exactly how effective are partial rep workouts with large amounts of weight? Do they do all they claim? What are the long term effects? Tendon injuries, bad joints, etc?
Is there any pro and con arguments for this?
If anyone could help it would be appreciated.
Thanks.
