@auxier587 Depends on what's right, or more saliently to most people, what you believe is right. If you're a science guy, he has for a long time recommended full rom over lengthened partials for example (and even in a recent video with Menno, insisted on doing the lengthened-focused lateral raises with a full RoM for some reason, which is a nice way of tiring your front delts a bit without having a meaningful stimulus I guess). Or, for example, him saying the front squat is bad for hypertrophy is kinda odd to 90% of humans and the literature (which shows it to be just as effective if not moreso in a lot of cases compared against back squatting, though I don't believe this literature to have much meaning as it's typically over a short period of time to be fair).
If you're into the bro stuff, his insistence on nothing but full rom is wrong for the opposite reason as the science stuff, for example. His position on cheat reps being completely useless or borderline negative is odd, there's nothing negative about what is essentially a mini drop set at the end of Biceps curls for example (by cheating the weight up with hips/delts/traps and controlling the eccentric, the Biceps being stronger at the fully lengthened position AND humans being stronger eccentrically than concentrically allow you to meaningfully control the decent for quite a few reps beyond concentric failure) for example and nothing inherently superior about performing it in the manner of a traditional drop set (drop sets are probably more effective, cheat sets are more time efficient). They're two different things that accomplish different goals, but Mike says you should not be doing this form of cheat rep ever for some reason.
Mike has just always had a habit of being pretty dogmatic about things that are grey at best... then also saying "it all works just do it however you like but also you're wrong but also do it however works best for you hehehe *sex joke*".
