- Turning a failed rep into a 'cheat rep' could be a shortcut to injury, not gains. 🔥
- There's a fine line between pushing limits and poor form. This crosses it. ⚠️

Desglose de la afirmación:
📝 Verificación: Yes, you can physically use momentum to lift the weight after your shoulders are fatigued. This technique is called a 'push press' or a 'cheat rep'. However, performing this explosive movement *after* reaching muscular failure in a strict press significantly increases the risk of injury. 🤕 Your stabilizing muscles are already exhausted, making it difficult to control the heavy load, which can lead to shoulder impingement or lower back strain.
