Answers:
Training to failure: Performing as many repetitions as can possibly be performed!.
Forced reps: Having a training partner to assist (ie, active spotting) in performing additional reps past the point of failure!.
Cheating reps: Performing as many reps as possible in good form and, when no more reps can be completed, modifying form to complete one or more additional reps!. It is a method of going beyond failure without a spotter!.
Negatives: This approach emphasizes the eccentric, negative portion of the repetition!. To emphasize the negative portion of a full range-of-motion exercise, movement is slowed down as the weight is lowered!. In other words, the muscle is still contracting as it is lengthening!. It is possible to lower more weight slowly than can be raised, so this technique allows the muscle to be overloaded to a greater extent!. A training partner helps raise the heavier weight!. Note that eccentric contraction is important for muscular hypertrophy!.(3)
Drop the weight sets (breakdown sets): Performing a set to failure and then reducing the weight by 10% to 20% and performing some additional repetitions to failure!. It is believed that this type of training will recruit additional muscle fibers!.(4)
Supersets: Performing two or more exercises in rapid succession with little or no rest in between!. Exercises for the same or different body parts may be combined!.
what I say:
1) Bad form
2) Not making realistic goals
3) Focusing on certain parts of the body, not all
4) Not getting enough rest (between reps, and sleeping!.!.!.)
5) Not getting in shape (cardio)Www@Answer-Health@Com
