We all know about good form when training but what do u guys think about doing reps a bit sloppy cos you are beginning to tire.

For example, when training the lats I aim for about 8-10 good reps but I can always manage to squeeze out 2 more half reps (i.e. until the bar is level with my face/forehead). Doesn't really apply to the bench press/flys etc but for the pulling type exercises its common with me (e.g seated rows/upright rows)

I reckon there is always benefit in pushing until your knackered but thats just me. I judge it by the fact that my muscles are sore.

Any thoughts :?
