There was such a case in the hall... I once watched how one of the dryshchugans was doing arm curls with an empty bar. Moreover, he swung his back so much that the load almost did not reach his biceps. When he finished his approach, I asked him: “Listen, why swing your back like that? What’s the point of this if your hands hardly work with this technique?” He looked at me with an arrogant look and said: “Don’t bother me. I'M CHEATING! His face was like that of a teacher who has to explain obvious things to a student.
So, CHEATING in strength training is a way of performing strength exercises that uses additional muscles if the main muscles cannot cope with the load.
From the definition it is clear that if you took the usual working weight and started cheating from the first repetition, then this is not cheating, but laziness and waste. Since cheating is justified only if you cannot perform the exercise with normal technique.
What is cheating?
CHITING is lifting weights on the main muscle being trained in the last repetitions, using additional muscles, with a slight violation of technique.
Cheating is a semblance of a combination of forced and negative methods, in which the force occurs in the lifting phase, additional muscles act instead of an assistant, but you have to pay by violating the technique, and the negative is activated in the lowering phase.
Remember! Cheating occurs precisely in the final approaches (EXCEPTION OF MEGA WEIGHTS), if from the first approach violation of technique and cheating begin, this is laziness, lack of desire to work, and this is real idleness!
The benefits of cheating
♦ Duration of peak load
This is indeed true, performing regular repetitions with ideal technique - the maximum reduction occurs in the last 2-3 repetitions, using cheating you can extend it to 3-4 or more repetitions;
♦ Ability to take more weight
This option is possible when the load is focused on strength, where a large weight is taken in advance, knowing that, for example, you will do 5 repetitions cleanly, and start cheating the last 3; This happens thanks to a little deception of the body, through the collusion of additional muscles
