⟩ What is cheat (or cheat rep)?
Term used in weight training to describe failing to keep perfect form when performing a rep, and having to use another body part to complete the rep.
An example might be not keeping your back completely straight when performing a bicep curl, or pushing your hands on your legs to complete a leg press.
Cheat reps might enable someone to lift a heavier weight or perform more reps than they would be able to if they weren’t ‘cheating’.
