STRICT VERSUS LOOSE REPS

9» STRICT VERSUS LOOSE REPS Bodybuilders perform two types of reps - strict and loose. As the names imply, strict reps are those that are performed in almost flawless fashion. There is no cheating or Jerking the weight up. Loose reps are those for which some body momentum is used to as- sist the target muscles in lifting the weight. There is an argument to be made that reps should always be . performed in strict style. This is especially true at the beginner level, but advanced bodybuitders frequently use a loose training style. ^-^
