I tried this. I found that I could do far less weight without the stretch.
The burn occurred to the far-upper gastrocnemius, below the knee. I normally feel fatiguing far lower, just above the achilles tendon.
By using the smaller range of motion, I could not use any momentum to raise the bar to a higher peak. I did the high weight, limited ROM, then finished with a failure low weight set in the same ROM and it was a teeth grinder.
I'll try it for a while with some variations. Not like I anything to lose with these chicken legs
