      I got some great results when i started using forced and partial reps to break out of plateaus. A plateau is a point in a bodybuilding exercise where no additional progress is being made. In other words your still doing the same reps with the same weight and you are not able to improve.
      Forced reps are were you do reps of an exercise to failure and then your training partner gives you just enough help to do an additional rep or two which takes your muscle past the point of fatigue.
     Partial reps are when you've completed a set of full reps, you carry on with half and quarter reps until you can't move the weight another inch.
        I only do  these reps when i feel like i've hit a plateau on a certain exercise. Be careful NOT to do these reps every time you go to the gym because this could lead to overtraining.
