Back workout, Full Range of Motion!

[newguy08]

Hi Everyone,

I was injured 7 Months ago (Left Upper Back and Left Back Shoulder)
I did not go to the GYM during that period (lost a great deal of lean body mass), i still feel pain but i can't stay away from the GYM anymore!

Last week i started to go to the GYM again, trying to start gaining the lost muscles hopefully

Today, it was the Back workout and i was speaking with a Trainer about my unrecovered injuries, so he started to make me do the back exercises but instead of doing the full range of motion i was doing like 1/2 the full range of motion and then with the increased weights 1/4 the full range of motion! i was too tired from this workout even with very low weights, i felt the pump and i felt heat inside my muscles!

So what was going on?
Is this a good workout or not?
Is it really not effective to do the full range of motion (fully extending your arms)?
do you think i can gain lean mass using this technique?

full range of motion isn't mandatory for all exercises. If your limited ROM keeps the focus on the target muscle, that is all that matters.

Had my best back pump ever after doing pulldowns to around the top of my chin rather than down to my chest. The increased weight in these ''half reps'' could be a reason but who knows. It deffo works if you feel it does
