And again, this is Danny Plotkin.

I said initially, eh, and then I thought about it and he showed me some literature that he had dug up on the topic.

And I thought, oh, this is cool.

This is actually kind of interesting because, you know, the time under tension, yes, with one bout isn't that much.

But then you take this out to eight weeks, 16 weeks a year.

train like that all the time can you see enhanced hypertrophy so his dissertation right now we're currently analyzing and what we did was we had within subject design which is a great way to run studies for you young folks out there that are in you know doing dissertation projects or whatever one leg of the participants did length and partial leg press and then leg extensor the other leg did full range of motion

Before and after the intervention, we did MRI scans, and we did it actually from knee all the way up to the hip.

And so we're going to get across the entire quadricep regional hypertrophy differences, which I think is critical.

We also did mid-thigh muscle biopsies.

Obviously, it would have been cool to do five biopsies at different sites.

Couldn't do that.

But we're analyzing the main players, satellite cells, ribosomes.

Fiber CSA, myonuclear number, and then we're gonna look at MRI.

Too early to tell as of yet, except I will say this, at least numerically, not statistically, but ribosome content increased in the length and partial leg, which I think is promising.

Can't quote you on p-value, effect size, stuff like that.

Gotta go look at the satellite cell stuff, and we're still doing the myovision fiber analysis, myonuclear number, stuff like that.

Yeah, I guess stay tuned.

I think it's an interesting way to train if you do want to maximize hypertrophy because aside from what we're doing, so Danny is going to be publishing the most sort of mechanistic study on the topic, but other laboratories, including some Japanese papers that he had made me aware of, and then I think Brad Schoenfeld just published something in 25,

showed, whether it's triceps or biceps, that lengthened partials seemed to confer some added benefit to hypertrophy.

Yeah.
