On a flip side, back in the day, power lifters would do these 'half reps' with more weight than they usually would on occasion. It was to get there body and joints adjusted more to the heavier weight and in the long run allow them to build up to it faster as their bodies would become more comfortable with it.

I used to do rack presses when I was younger because my triceps were my weak link. They work wonders as do rack pulls for people who have problems with the lockout on dl.
