Thanks Bill, it's not much weight but I think I'm getting the idea of were the shoulders need to be when pulling.

Yep, keeping them out over the bar longer is different. And keeping the squeeze going as you get the bar moving. Yesterday I made the mistake of jerking one of my heavier warmups and I'm really feeling it today in my shoulders.

Belt sqt. 45/12 90/12 115/12 135/15
One arm rows with handle attached to belt sqt lever 90lbs for 12 reps 2 sets.
I figure the true weight is about 2/3 of the actual plate weight on the lever. I going to take an actual measurement using my crane scale.

Sorry to have to say these weights felt heavy to me. I'm hoping doing the partials help me get used to handling some heavier weights. It supposed to help build some tendon and bone strength too.

Hi Jerry. Following your "short range heavy training" with interest. I read way back, somewhere, that doing half squats with heavy weights did not translate to a heavier full squat max. Well, ok, but it does work the body in a different way, and I think with judicious use it can be good for us.

There is a guy I follow on Instagram
Dr.Joel Seedman, he preaches 90 degree total amount of movement counting both back and leg angles. He sells pricey books at
AdvancedHumanPerformance.com
