If you're not growing, this is why. Because there used to be three types of lifters in the gym, but nowadays, I only really see two. And it's that third type of lifting that's going to help you push through plateaus and build more muscle. Let me explain. I'm going to use dumbbell bicep curls as an example exercise, but this will work for pretty much any exercise. So, that first type of lifter, what they'll do is use perfect form on every single repetition. These are 50 lb dumbbells. So, that first type of lifter will complete their set of six to eight repetitions. And as soon as they start to feel like they're getting tired and they can't complete the rep, they just put the weight down and that's the end of the set. Now, that second type of lifter you all know as the ego lifter, they they're not ready for 50 lb dumbbells, but they want to curl 50 lb dumbbells, too. So, they Frankenstein a hammer curl, leaning forward, twist, arch back, and do something like this in order to bring the weight up. they're not ready for it. They're not really engaging their biceps at all. They're just kind of flinging weight around. Now, that third type of lifter, that's the lifter that's graduated from perfect form and knows their body well enough in order to do some forced repetitions. And forced repetitions can be done with a spotter. But if you're doing it on your own on an exercise like a biceps curl, all that really means is that I'm lifting as heavy as I can. And when I get to the end of my set and I can't quite get the weight up yet, I know how to use a little momentum to fight the weight up and then control the negative on the way down. And utilizing this method is going to allow me to probably get two, three, sometimes four more repetitions in to help me push my body past its limits and really utilize the exercise that I'm working with to build more muscle over time. It's always about progressing and force repetitions are a great way to progress and build more muscle.
