People Also Ask
What are cheat reps?
Cheat reps are reps finished using momentum or body swing rather than strict form, usually to push a set past the point of muscle fatigue.
Are cheat reps ever a good thing?
Yes — advanced bodybuilders sometimes use controlled cheating to extend a set past failure, but unintentional cheating is just poor form.
What's the difference between cheat reps and ego lifting?
Cheat reps use momentum to squeeze out extra reps as you fatigue, while ego lifting means picking a weight you can't handle properly in the first place.
