For the most part; yeah. Some people though due to joint dysfunction, connective tissue disorders or other congenital issues with their anatomy are predisposed to injury there and don't know it until they've tried something hard enough.
I only stopped doing them because I lost my balance once and came pretty damn close to destroying my knee.
I guage all leg exercises by how it feels in the muscle and how much energy I have to use to really fatigue the muscle...regular squats spread the resistance out too thin for me. When I...
There's only a few reasons to do partials. At the bottom of a barbell curl is where there's the least resistance to begin with for one. Partials as an entire set can be used to strengthen a weak area in the range of a movement you'd simply need more strength in for performance reasons. Other...
Pec deck or machine flyes; for their function of equal resistance through the whole range....as opposed to dumbbells, whereas the pull on your pecs falls right off the grid at the top.
Whatever you can do to get the resistance to last through the largest range of motion is best; to make every rep count as efficiently as possible. Try cables or a resistor band...one side at a time. Reach across your body with it as far as you can so it stretches your delt and then extend the...
#5 and 7 is a perfect example of one trying to argue physics with philosophy. Just because a certain muscle is being "used" as an ancillary in an exercise that's not intended directly for it; doesn't mean it's being "trained." Training involves OVERLOAD. It isn't at complete rest albeit but...
That's a lot of delt meat.
I at one time had over a 3 month period had hit mine TOO hard; I thought they weren't growing because I wasn't going at it hard enough. They actually shrank and hurt more often than not! You just can't remove them from doing work on chest and back day so...yeah; oops.
