Performing heavy partial range of movements exercises is one way to help you break through a plateau. But, I would not even consider performing them unless you have been training for a long time and a generally considered an advanced lifter. I do not think they have any place in a novice program. All beginners should learn the basics and perform full range of movement exercises. In the following video I am doing partial squats from the bottom up, I did these after my full squat session. I just really felt the need to get some heavy weight on my back. If I had a yoke, I would have done yoke walks, but I don't, so this is one of the next best options. Again, this can help build your squat but setting the pin at different heights, it can help build your explosive power and your jumping ability as well.
