ok, so basically on the most simple level if you exercise a muscle it will adapt and grow, no matter what you do. You could potentially cheat the whole way thru and still achieve some results from it because it is still stimulation. So if you just want to gain muscle and you dont care where you gain it, then all the power to you. But if you are a bodybuilder who is trying to bring up specific body parts then you need to be concious of form or opposing muscle groups will take over and negate your work. Another VERY imortant point to training in single plain movements without full ROM is that you are teaching your muscles to lose elasticity. Now lets get past the get big right now mentality and think about it over time, in terms of years. What kind of mobility are you going to have when your 50 years old? I have seen it many many times, where older bodybuilders are so freakin tight they can barely wipe their ass. From that point it will also take years to undo the damage. So the best scenerio is just to train properly from the get go, youll still have the same results only you will actually FEEL like an athlete, not just look like one.
