Cheating Reps
This is a legitimate
method used by Bodybuilders. For example say you are doing Hack Squat
Leg Presses with heavy weight. You get 4-5 reps and realize that it is
too heavy to do more, but if you cheat and stray from doing strict
reps, you can use your hands to help you do 3, 4, or even 5 more reps.
In
doing this, it helps to completely "Shock" the muscle and you
end up putting more stress on the muscle than if you have just stopped
at 4 reps. The trick to this is not helping yourself out too much,
just enough to finish the rep.
Also do this on your last set. Works great with biceps curls, everyone
has probably cheated on accident in the beginning, but now you can
explain how this is good. Use you're shoulders and back muscles to
help curl the weight up on the biceps curl.
Be
creative and try it on other exercises but do use caution so you don't
hurt yourself or pull a muscle. You will be surprised how this can
take your training to the next level.
