What a bunch of Jerks

[Leever]

I was in the gym last week and witnessed a gentleman trying to do arm curls with a BB. Almost every rep that he did was jerked from the very bottom to the very top and I would have to bet that hardly any arm strength was really used to get that weight to the top. He was a smaller person as if he was just starting out and I am not sure that he really knew what he was doing. I would like to take a poll to find out what percentage of the time are you jerking your weight to the full contraction and why?

I jerk to full contraction more than I'd like to admit.

I tried to create a post but I was too slow to get it done within 3 minutes. What percentage would you say that you jerk the weight?

I didn't know another word that would best replace this one and still get the point across.....funny funny.

I do rarely with very light weight to do slow eccentrics. But I never try to swing up heavy weights.

I use body english, but if it looks terrible - then it is.

 

[CowPimp]

I try to limit body English. Yes, Mudge, I'm going to continue to steal that term; I like it. However, I have allowed the usage of a reasonable amount of cheating to allow for some prolonged eccentrics with heavier weight.

 

[IRON MAN]

I quit cheating after getting injured a few times.

sometimes i do it to get another 1-2 forced reps

I jerk my weight to full contraction every morning.

I didn't think that phrase up, Foreman did... Take your shit to him.

And I was quoting you for reference to Foreman's statement, because he more or less copied you .
