Why should you not lockout on benchpress ?

[GymIntensity]

i do not lock out, i get burned out much better if i go right up to the top without fully extending down and then at that point where it trembles bring it back down controlled. now i would not call it a 2/3 rep, i go almost 90% of the way and don't fully extend

i tried a set of 225 on flat today after i went a lil heavier just to see how it felt. kind of takes a few reps to get the motion down and to figure out how far up you go before you lockout, but i think i got around 7 or 8 reps and it broke me down hard. definately felt like a good change, especially since ive been plateaud on bench for so long.

Do you have any data to support this? No offence but I just don't believe it.

As for time under tension, there are better ways of managing this than doing partial reps.

I dont buy it either.

I know its not my elbow but i disclocated my knee cap. So the joint was pretty much stuffed. Part of the rehab was step ups, squats and leg extentions all with a main focous on locking out the leg.

Now if locking out was bad on joints why would they have me do that for my rehab.
