People Also Ask
What are forced reps?
They're extra repetitions performed past failure, with a spotter taking just enough of the weight for you to keep the set going.
Are forced reps effective?
They can extend a set and add intensity, but they're very taxing on recovery and the nervous system, so they should be used occasionally rather than every set.
Do you need a spotter for forced reps?
Yes. By definition forced reps require a training partner to assist the lift once you can no longer complete reps on your own.
