Partials can be beneficial. But first analyze your lifts. Are you articulating through the full range of the lift or are your lifts, in effect, just partials? Many times I see lifters whose bench is not full range. The bar never touches the chest or, if it does, they bounce it off the chest - they cheat. On the top side of the lift, they never get full extension. So, naturally, they end up not developing maximum strength throughout the range of the lift. Do your partials, but only if you've performed full range lifts.
