Seguro que has escuchado muchas veces que con un rango de recorrido parcial no se obtienen ganancias de hipertrofia, o que las ganancias se reducen.
Sin embargo, estas afirmaciones no son ciertas y hay contextos en los que con recorridos parciales se pueden obtener las mismas ganancias de hipertrofia (o más) que con recorridos completos. De hecho, hay estudios que lo demuestran y en el vídeo que te traigo hoy cito algunos de ellos.
Si quieres saber cómo afecta a la hipertrofia el realizar un recorrido completo o un recorrido parcial y que tipos de adaptaciones de hipertrofia (en grosor y en longitud) se genera en cada rango de recorrido, dale un vistazo a este vídeo y sabrás cuando puede ser interesante y útil emplear recorridos parciales y cuando no sería interesante hacerlo.
Pero en el vídeo no solo explico cómo afectan a la hipertrofia los recorridos parciales y completos, si no que también explico cómo se genera hipertrofia de distinta manera dependiendo del tipo de ejercicio que realices, y cómo puedes obtener más hipertrofia en grosor o en longitud dependiendo de cómo sea tu entrenamiento.
