Although half reps are often considered "ego lifting", they can be done safely for fitness benefits!
Not to mention - "full" range of motion is often a bit arbitrary. For example, full push-ups can stop with your upper arms parallel to the ground, when your chest touches the ground, or even deeper if you're elevated.
Just make sure you can control the weight (or resistance) in that range of motion and try to avoid stabbing pain! Pain and lack of control are signs you might want to use less weight.
Have a wonderful day!
PS: someone asked if this applies to weighted work too - and it does! Bodyweight, dumbbells, kettlebells etc are all types of resistance. As long you can handle the weight SAFELY in that range of motion, then it's almost always okay. This concept actually isn't very controversial at all, in my opinion. Just not very common compared to "regular" lifting.
I'll add my lengthy original response below:
"I think that's a great point to bring up! My opinion is that there's not as much difference as one might think! After all, some people's bodyweight is basically mine + 4 plates (granted that's pretty rare, but there are plenty of people 100 or 200lb heavier than I am). We'll always be stronger in some parts of our ROM relative to other parts. That combined with joint-angle specificity is a good enough reason for people to train that range with extra weight! For example, some Olympic sprinters or those who want to increase vertical leap might do quarter squats with very high weight! But you bring up a good implication about safety - if you can't do it with the good form you want, then you need to lower the weight regardless of the ROM! To add a bit (sorry this seems rambly, but IG comments don't seem to have linebreaks, haha), this is similar to how some people do lifts with variable resistance like chains or resistance bands! Especially with squats, this would add significant extra weight/resistance to your top ROM, along with the benefits that come with that. It doesn't have to be huge. Even 25-50lb would be different. So to summarize, yes definitely be safe when using heavy loads. However, while heavy loads and short ROM is often correlated with unsafe behavior, there are definitely ways to utilize them safely. Not to mention the benefits of isometrics which always have the potential for higher forces than moving exercises because you can always hold more than you can lift! Of course, you don't need to do this at all if you don't want. Following the rule of "only lift what you can handle through a relatively* full ROM" can still yield a lifetime of great results. Thanks for bringing this up!"

@@LavaCreeperPeople Thanks for sticking around!
@@HybridCalisthenics no problem :D
@@HybridCalisthenics Theyre making fun of people who use partials ALL the time and not progress range of motion . Soo...
When doing weights, you can reduce the weight, but when doing calisthenics you can't reduce your bodyweight.
I wish more people were as nice as this guy
Yeah man, imagine if the online fitness community was this positive. Ah well, best we can do is follow his example
@@TelicSyndrome Him and Joey Swoll are an insane positivity duo.
@@anthonypierce8919 Don’t forget Daddy Noel
They are irl you're just chronically online
He is a mixture of a trainer and physical therapist.
That butt boop tho😂😂😂
I will build the boop into my exercises!
it was more like ✨boop✨ tho
Bro what
This is exactly what I came to say 😂😂
@@MuriMIght bro I wanna see 4 sets of 10 butt boops 😂
I had a yoga instructor tell me
"Good job" after I fell. I was discouraged but she said something that my adult brain should have already known
"You fell because you really tried"
Damn... I stumbled across your comment by pure luck. I really needed this advice. Had to read it more than once, cause it hit me like a brick. Thank you.
As a teen I got reprimanded by a coach for not doing deep enough push-ups. I stopped where my chest hit the ground because he wanted fast push-ups and I didn't want bruised boobs, as mine are pretty big. My friend (who was much more outspoken than me) dared the coach to try deep push-ups with two waterballoons under his tank top, and he busted one of the balloons trying to "show me it's not that bad". He did not complain again.
I’m sorry you had such a dumbass for a coach, most men should know that pressure on the boobs is like pressure on the testes, dude sounds like just an asshole especially with actually trying the water balloon thing
Your coach made a girl do push-ups all the way to the ground with you chest that should be illegal
@@Pj-ps2zn nah. This is better.
That's like telling guys to do splits
@@Pj-ps2znwhat does being a girl have to do with push ups? the problem was her chest was too big, not that girls can't do deep pushups, honestly you're worse than that coach
Thank you for being a positive fitness person on the internet. Its really discouraging out here sometimes for someone who is overweight/out of shape/ disabled.
God bless
Yes!! I always feel like a failure when looking for beginner friendly workout plans, because I can’t even do them fully. I’m disabled and very weak because of it, plus have to be very careful to not overwork myself. It’s very helpful seeing someone who isn’t saying that unless you go all the way, you’re doing it wrong
Good stuff!
and notice how the comments (based on what i’m seeing) are a lot nicer on this dudes videos? positivity normally does really breed positivity :)
No one makes fun of half reps we point it out constructively l. And when we do make fun of half reps it’s because they were trying to flex
I am imagining a world where everyone was just a good hearted person like you.
Pretty cool visualization.
Take care 👍
You take care as well! I try to consistently improve myself as a person - though that's very much a work in progress, haha!
Have a wonderful day!

@@Xilladan093 soo… idc never make fun of anyone for anything.

This man is so polite
You are the best, man. Your acceptance and genuine "it's ok, just do your best" attitude is one of the reasons I stuck with fitness. I was so dejected at 420 lbs and hated myself and what I was. As I lost more and more weight, I began to really get your videos and give myself more grace and feel ok doing what I could, and more grateful for the little victories. I am 230 lbs now, almost 200 lbs down. Thanks for your content, it has been so helpful not just for fitness, but for my mental health around my body.
Nice! I'm 226lbs now, Hampton is awesome
Good job! Losing weight is HARD.
This is awesome. You can totally keep it up!!!
Congrats 🎉!!!
Conrats for your journey!
Well fucking done! I'm proud of you, that is really trying and getting it done.
first. thank you telling people it’s ok if u can’t do something at first but you can work your way up. my favorite one was when you were showing different variations of push-ups
Oh yeah totally! I couldn't do pullups, all I could do was hang on for 2 seconds. Kept doing that, and now I can do like at least 3 pullups!
@@sweetgherkinzI used to be able to do 100 mind you I’m 14 but I got attacked and fell off the monkey bars on both my wrist and 2 years later I can’t even to 20 but I’m working my way up to my past peak and I’m going to surpass the past me I hope you will surpass the present you
I did my sets of wall push-ups today.
@@shadowwrld7044 Keep in mind with your body growing that you’re of course going to gain weight by both getting taller as well as gaining more muscle mass, don’t beat down on yourself if you cannot achieve what you once did :)
I was the same, as a little girl, 6 years old, I could do up to 40 pull-ups before I reached my breaking point. That was when I was a stick and very light though, so having hit puberty a long time ago, of course my body cannot hold 2x of what it did when it was younger. I wish you luck!
@@sweetgherkinzthat is literally subhuman. You are less capable of a newborn infant. Like, out the womb babies have more strength than you.
Thank you for building the community instead of making folks feel like crap. There are so many voices out there regarding fitness. What your doing is fantastic!
I really love your do-whatever-works-for-you approach. Every little bit helps. 😊
I have hypermobility and all my life refused to do stuff like pushups at school. Because if my knees and hips dislocate so easily, my spine feeling like it'll pop is a valid warning for me. Thank you for this - I hope it helps a lot of other kids out there who do want to be fit but can't conform to the "standard" model of exercise
I have hypermobile ehlers danlos, and I’m in the same boat. I always have felt like a failure because I have to do exercises differently than my peers. I have the same problems with push-ups! I have to do them on my knees and can only do very small reps because my hips and shoulders dislocate really easily
@@motionless_horizon oh gods yes. i remember as a child being so frustrated because my family decided that my saying things like "my back feels like it'll fall out" wasn't my best attempt at describing loose joints but some kind of creative exaggeration. Despite things like my kneecaps regularly ending up on the side of my knees :D
weird, that...
let's hope that future gym teaching accepts that some kids' bodies do actually work differently, and laziness sometimes protects them.
and that we find exercise that works for us. i still miss tai chi and my body cancelled it years ago.
@@tessasilberbauer6219 same!! Even with my kneecaps being visibly out of place, or the huge cracks and pops, or swollen ankles after running, it was always just seen as an excuse to be lazy and not exercise. I started “faking” being sick on PE days so I could stay home because the teacher would force me to do the exercises that I physically couldn’t do because they would cause me so much pain. I remember one time being forced to run so far past what I could that I ended up throwing up from pain, but it still was seen as over-exaggerating. I really hope that there has been improvement now and that coaches realize that not everyone’s bodies work the same and that they shouldn’t force literal children to do things that they can’t
@@motionless_horizon uggggghhhhhh yeah. *solidarity fistbump* gods PE was the wwooooorst lol if you can't get to the endorphin rush because you're getting injured first, there's no point in any amount of "determination, discipline and health" lectures.
My knees popped everytime I squat one day but i’ve done it cuz I wanne be able to do the asian squat and heard how that poping would go away and my knees really stopped popping.
Fitness is for everyone and everything in between. Thanks Hampton!
Edit: Thanks everyone for all the likes, we surpassed Hampton's own comment!!
God bless
I would like to believed that but my lower back and knees would laugh at me
This man is STILL teaching people calmly, helpfully, and kindly, years later. seriously the best dude
As someone with hEDS, this message is so important to hear. It’s important to build on range of motion to ensure I’m doing it properly. Rather than going full speed and end up doing even more damage.
/fist bumps the fellow zebra/
As someone with hypermobility I was always told to not do things to improve the range of movement. Just go to the point where other people would go or to what feels very comfortable. Trying to get even more range of motion than I already have, would cause injury more easily.
And then there was the time I had to explain to my doctor I was really suffering from too little range of motion after an injury when what I could do was still considered normal. I demonstrated with the other side what my usual range of motion was and there was a huge difference. I did get physiotherapy and some more checkups
Baby steps and consistency will get you anywhere you want to go.
The change will be more stable and you will be much less likely to get injured.
Needed this. Been working on handstand push ups and currently I’m getting just over half depth but when I go deeper it gets a little to much pressure for my shoulders
I built up to handstand pushups with half reps too! They really helped me feel the movement.
You really inspire me, truly
Thank you for reminding me that I can still do things like half pushups. I like doing them, but Im not strong enough for a full one yet, and I gatekept myself from them. "Once I can do them *properly* then I will." Now I have the confidence to know I can still improve, even without a "full" rom :)
You're the absolute best man! 🙏
This man needs to be protected at all costs. He is an inspiration to the community. He just gives off such positive vibes. ❤
I need a dude like you in my life. So much positivity. Instant subscribe.
The king of iFunny, how I've missed you
Whats the first rule dude....
@ashleyavenuemusic Fart of the Shit Fart of the Poo. Doesn't matter
What I have learned from you and the good side of exercise TH-cam is that doing anything and keeping up with a routine of some sort is the only thing that really matters.
Will it be optimal? Maybe not but we have to start somewhere.
Now you sir also have a beautiful night (it’s almost 8pm here)
Dude just throws in a cheeky little butt boop. Perfection.
I love this guy, he is such a positive and wholesome man.
Because of you, i can do so much better at push ups after learning from your short a year ago 💪💪🔥 thank you!
Hampton single handedly creating a nurturing online fitness environment
Beautifully blended clips, so much information and clearly demonstrated. I was watching intently………. then “boop” 😂
This guy is just so happy and awesome.
In childhood I was told that if you don't do the full range then it won't have any effect at all.
I fucking hate my toxic childhood.
Your positivity is exactly why I watch your videos. I always feel bad about not being able to fully follow through with reps not realizing that I may not be able to do the full rep now but if I keep at it I will eventually be able to do it.
I watch him cuz he's always so wholesome and friendly and shows us all different ways of doing the same thing, instead of insisting that ONLY ONE method is the correct method like most other fitness channels do.
But the real reason why I only watch HC and pretty much no one else is cuz 98% of other fitness channels waste time on long-a** intros that nobody cares about, advertise crap nobody cares about, hype crap up, yell into the microphone trying to hype crap up even more, put annoying video and sound effects and filters and crap, and act like total know-it-alls. I f--- ing h8 hype culture sooooooo much and any channel that is based on hyping crap up goes into my -blocklist- hide list since yt has apparently removed the block function now.
@@ThePopo543oh absolutely, i fucking hate how thats like "the norm".
I see it everywhere, not just the internet but also tv and irl. Just bcuz you add some sound effects doesnt make it more funny or stimulating. Its annoying
Imagine how many people would go to the gym or would work out at home if they had a positive person like this motivating them instead of toxic people
You are so wholesome... we need more creators like you
Thank you so much for reminding the world to ENJOY their bodies and have fun with what they are capable of! Fitness isn’t all about looking this way or being this size, it’s being able to do things you find useful or just plain interesting. Love you for this!
Your content has helped me take back my health. Down 70 pounds in 9 months. THANK YOU.
Half reps aren't bad, they're just stepping stones towards full reps
You gotta be patient, compassionate and enjoy the journey :)
Ehhhhhhh no. Move to a lower weight or progression and learn the proper form
@@babytricep437Or, and hear me out, if that's what they have to do for there safety..maybe they should? Hell, why not do lower weight, progression, and halfrep? If that's what they need to do, that's what they gotta do!
@@ariannadravis3934 still no. Drop the weight, it really is ego lifting if you have to half rep
@@babytricep437 Nope!
@@ariannadravis3934 Moronic response, you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about
I really like your upbeat energy and stout heart. I wish more people were like you.
I wish everyone can be this nice and positive. You actually pushed me a little bit more toward improving myself
Not many people realise how strong this man is. Thanks for being such a positive influence!
You’re like the unassuming grandmaster black belt at fitness.
I like this guy. Just basically take your time. You will get there eventually.
Thank you- I'm too tall + inflexible for angled pushups and can only do floor pushups with partial reps and with a really wide base. I always feel awful doing pushups because I physically cannot do what everyone says I should be doing online lol. I always see big progress in partial reps but sometimes aren't as confident in my progress as I should be because most say that partial range of motion degrades your strength instead
You can tell this guy is 100% natural unlike more than half of "fitness" influencers
You are what fitness culture should be.
this guy if fr the best fitness influencer and also gives good advice
You are the nicest online fitness coach/influencer I have ever come across. Thank you for being so encouraging, motivating and sweet!
And..! -Now I feel comfortable working out. Thank you!
Your honesty is refreshing. Thank you.
All this time, I've been shaming myself for not going low enough when I'm doing pushups and now, I'm being told I was upsetting myself for no reason.
Your vlogs are the best.. Concise, realistic, practical, and humbling 👍😊
I just love the energy in this channel, thanks for that
Love the message of start where you can and build from there.
Thank you so much for remembering and reminding people that! Every progress is progress!we got this!!!😊
The one good thing to come out of ifunny, nice job man
Thank you so much for your very positive, factual, informative, and truly beneficial posts.
You have the sweetest, most upbeat energy!!
You are awesome. Truly helpful to people! I love how you validate the steps - change happens incrementally and if "success" is the goal, this is the only way. Thank you!
You demos and advice are spot on. So encouraging to all levels of fitness
Man your movements are so smooth it’s inspirational for future goals
Found you on ifunny a few years ago, deleted that cesspit and you came up on my shorts today, glad to find you again and see you thriving
We need more of this kindness and helpfulness! Thank you for being nice!
You just saved my life with this video
It's now in my bucket list, meeting you once in life😁😁
Thank you for you understanding, and for putting this into words.
Thank you so much for putting positivity out there and helping people who want to work out but feel like they can’t
Never even thought about that, thanks for the informative video.
This is why I like your page, you spread wisdom, you seem very at peace with the world
"Boop"...
I love you, your advice is so positive and amazing!
You're one of the only guys I watch about fitness content. You're actually truthfull in what you say, and it genuinely sounds like you care about teaching the knowledge you amassed over the years so people can better themselves.
Thanks for the great content for all those years!
I havent watched your videos for a couple months, YOU'RE ARMS A HUGE NOW!!!
The positivity in the world we need thank you
Your YT shorts are a work of art!
This man has no enemies. I love it
Your videos really make me feel better about what seem like very small steps in my fitness journey.
I hate fitness culture so much, it's really kept me home to work on myself lol. Your delightful
This guy is becoming a national treasure, he just seems so genuine
Thank you. As someone who has to be extremely careful and slow with progression (lots of health issues that make it complicated), it’s really discouraging seeing others who go all the way and say that unless you do that, you’re not doing it right. It’s great that they can go all the way, but for a lot of us that isn’t safe or possible. This makes me feel a lot better and not like so much of a failure for having to make progress slower than others
This makes everything seem a little more approachable and possible. Thank you
Finally! You are back in my feed after an entire year!
it's awesome hearing someone give information for people that don't do the full range. It can be demoralizing when someone says you're not doing it right when you're doing a different version. It's nice to know that there are people like you that give the actual information rather than just bringing others down
honestly this is really encouraging for someone who's been putting off working out due to being unable to do many "full" exercises
Ah man, every video you just remind me of how great you are. And how we're all on our own journey. Thank you!
I love this right here. This is some very practical advice that no one knows that will help optimize effort and burnout while increasing effort in your physical activity goals
He's so smooth with it
Knowledge is power. I like this dude!
I love this! Thanks! Makes things less overwhelming.
Love your positivity and enthusiasm! It makes it so much more interesting ☺️
this makes me feel a lot better!!! i’m new on my fitness journey and can only really manage stuff like wall pushups, knee planks, etc. which i feel bad about sometimes. but i know over time i’ll be able to build up my strength and do more!!!
This is the first genuinely helpful advice I’ve seen in a while. Thank you, I needed this.
This dude is the most positive take on fitness I have seen in a long ass time.
It's always big buff dudes grunting and looking angry, he's just fuckin nice and gives off the vibe of forcing an attacker into a hug.
Thank you. Not enough ppl r addressing this as clearly, and I've injured myself because of trying to do full range from the start.
i really appreciate your positive demeanor. stay awesome
This was honestly really helpful, thank you!
You have helped me and my hEDS body with SAFE fitness which nobody has been able to do before. Thank you so much for awesome (and accessibly brief!) content like this!!!!
As someone who needs a slower start right now, I appreciate the positivity so much 😊
This guy made me rethink my life and m lookout on work outs
In under a minute
Keep up your good work my man
I canNOT tell you how much I needed to hear this❤
Wow. This is very good to know. And you are pretty cool to show how it works too.
