well full reps are harder yes, partial reps are much more easy and you can get more of them, but it doesn't mean one is necessarily better it depends what youre wanting out of it, but im still stronger then him and im old school i always do full reps but sometimes when doing descending sets ill do partials oh the burn :)
clearly from the comments on here people think they know something about bodybuilding because they went to the gym a few times. have you morons never heard of partial reps...? his form as amazing, and he knows what hes doing
Proper reps or not..... His stats speaks for his non proper reps...... ISSA, Nasm, and all the others won't educate you on how to lift like a body builder, little guys
people will always talk tough on the internet......they will act as though they are professionals.....truth of the matter is.....these same people won't do much in life....they are so busy being critical of others.....that they don't ever progress in their own pathetic lives! Melvin is a classy individual.....I met him back in 02.....you won't find a nicer gent......man.......was he thick.....very impressive in person.
to all those saying these are shit reps..... give it a try!!! this is bodybuilding, not powerlifting... this style keeps CONSTANT tension on the chest which actually makes it ALOT harder than if he was doing full ROM. Full ROM on a chest press incorporates alot of front delt and tricep anyway..
he is controlling the weight better than 99.99% of people who have ever stepped in a weightroom. elbows and shoulders look stable. He is working the mid range of motion with emphasis placed on control of the bottom and top of the range, and transition from positive to negative. if more complainers new more about form than they did test cyp, you would see more guys that look like bodybuilders.
@xTheFormlessOneIGF1 Bullshit bro! Those are bullshit reps. Ive seen so many pencil necks using the same lame ass form as this! Lower the weight and use the full range movement!
@Ducatilover8777 He fucking keeps tension on his muscles the whole time asshole. I'm not gonna be one of those dicks who says "are you as big as him?", but still I expect you to know what you're talking about. Without fully locking out or touching the chest, the chest has to work the whole time just to support the weight. Just give it a try, it's gonna be hard as shit and you're gonna want to touch the bar on your chest.
@8jakeP8 I have trained like that and all I know is that I feel nothing the next day! When i complete a full range of motion Im sore as shit the next day! I guess its my own personal preference. And yes I am bigger than Melvin. He even admits it! Take care sport!
@Ducatilover8777 Mmm, I don't know about that last part, but as for the first part, when you did so did you not touch your chest? If so did you put as much intensity as you do in your "normal" sets? Also did you try it at least one more workout to see if you just needed to get used to it? If no to any of those then all I can say is... Uh, well I didn't think that out, but, uh, I know try it again and one more time.
Finally soreness doesn't mean good workout, just hard recovery...
@8jakeP8 Perhaps I will give it one more try! Even though i know what works best for me I just want to make you happy lol! By the way Melvin currently weighs in at 196lbs soaking wet! Great guy though! Later
@JeanLouie1106 Too fucking late for u to find out though bro, just a couple weeks ago before u made this comment Melvin's contract with Muscletech was due and the company did not renew it. Melvin lost his big time sponsor. It's a shame.
@Voodoofreak35 Oh man yeah I just checked it out now, that sucks, apparently he's also not doing the 2010 Mr. O, don't really blame him though, the man's in his 40's, and even though in his 33 competition history he has missed a top 10 placing only 3x, in the 08 Mr O he got 6th, in 09 he got 11th... I'll miss him.
@bigboi2008uk Kai greene, won mr. Olympia ! he uses perfect technique, and he does the whole rep ! this guy haven't won shit ! he does half rep ! you be the judge
nice shits weak cheat reps, touch the chest and come up, 1, 2, 3... lol or if ur going for reps, atleast move the bar more then fucking 4-5inches lol.
@anytingbu elite muscle building genetics? LOL So, can you explain that to me scientifically what that specifically is LOL? Then explain it to Branch Warren as I am sure he would be interested in hearing that as well. LOL Dont be silly.
@anytingbu Winning three times qualifies you as a champion. Also, Night of Champions and the NPC American Nationals Overall and superheavyweight winner is a big win as well. So yes, he is a champion.
well then by your standards theirs a whole lot of champions. And , c'mon dude wake up, the NPC win counts towards being a champion for you? Thats where bodybuilders win their pro cards, fool. So also, by your standards every pro is already a champion
haha, wow then no need to hold pro competitions then!! cool! according to you , since there all Champions, the IFBB should just split the money up evenly over the more than 250 active pro's. i mean hell they all deserve the same,since according to you their all on the same level as arnold, ronnie,and jay
@anytingbu Well the interpretation of champion you have made is your own. I am saying however that since he has won three shows, it makes him a champ, at least at those shows and in his own right.
Now does it make him the best in the world.. no....but it does make him a champion as proven within specific shows and situations.
The olympia was created actually to showcase the different champions that existed in the Mr. Universe and out of state Champs from different shows....weiders words.
Hey, your the one saying there all champions..your talkin relatively..realtive to ordinary people he's a champ, but in the world of BB he's not.
its just like football. a team wins the super bowl. they are the champions for the time being until the superbowl..same with melvin. He was a champion the times he won, but not anymore.
@EliteExtra elite, dont waste your money on muscle tech. Just eat a solid diet when training and give yourself at leasst three recuperation days a week.
well full reps are harder yes, partial reps are much more easy and you can get more of them, but it doesn't mean one is necessarily better it depends what youre wanting out of it, but im still stronger then him and im old school i always do full reps but sometimes when doing descending sets ill do partials oh the burn :)
