He's not locking out. Just coming up what I would consider full ROM almost to lockout.I want people to watch the 4th video of Lowe squatting. What is this considered? Not locking out? 90% ROM?

Interesting. I look at that and say it's 90% ROM.He's not locking out. Just coming up what I would consider full ROM almost to lockout.
Yeah that's full lock out. He might flex his quads at the top, but the tension is not really on the quads. In regards to Lowe, what I mean by full ROM is that he is coming up as close to lockout as he can without actually locking out. He's focusing on keeping the weight on his quads the entire time. For sure they are burning. Like others said, when you stand up and lock out, you get a bit of a break on the muscle. But like also others say, if that's the way you do it, and it's been working for you (without any pain or issues) then if I were you, I would just keep doing what's been working. But on the other hand, I'm suspect if you try it the way Lowe is doing it, you will notice a much more intense burn on the muscle.Interesting. I look at that and say it's 90% ROM.
I squat like Titus in this video - all the way up with knees locked and quads flexed at the top. If Lowe is full ROM then is this locking out?
Is there a difference between full range and locking out? Deadlift for example I would guess “most guys are “locking out.
Bench press I often see a lot of short strokes

Can you ‘lock out’ on pulling movements? What would that be called if you could by another name(?) when the stretched position is held by ligaments and tendons and not the ‘actual’ joint if I am making myself clear.
Myself, I stop just short of locking out, keeping the tension on the muscle regardless of the movement all the while striving for the greatest range motion.
And I never ‘lock out’ when deadlifting. I stop short of perpendicular, keeping tension on the low back and hamstrings.
In my mind, sure you’ll lock out on a deadlift. For example…
When you see guys struggling and shaking, then they finally get it up and lock there hips
they seem to hold it at ease at that point.
I would think in any competition that it would have to be a full lift, all the way up, all the way down? Including squat and bench press. I would call all
Of that locking out? But I am no expert and still learning and open to hear otherwise.
Interesting question. My 'no full lockout' rule of training applies to both push and pull movements. And I'll tell you how (none of this applies to competition lifts because lockout is required). But the difference between push vs pull is one simple distinction:Can you ‘lock out’ on pulling movements?
