The 1.5 method is simple: Perform full reps of an exercise with partial reps between each. Although 1.5 means "one-and-a-half," quarter reps can also be used.
One benefit: This method adds time under tension (TUT) to the portion of an exercise you might otherwise be under-loading.
Determine the strongest half or quarter of an exercise, then do an extra half or quarter rep in that portion. It doesn't matter how big the partial reps are – no one will be measuring with a goniometer.
As a general rule, just avoid going through your sticking point. This will vary from exercise to exercise. For example, in a deadlift, if you struggle just below your knees, then stay above them for the extra partial reps. Another example is the lateral raise with quarter reps at the bottom, as seen in the video. – Gareth Sapstead
