Alpha Performance Enhancer It's OK to cheat every now and then to get all you can out of your workouts. While you are trying to finish some extra reps, you can use only a little bit of your body if it will help you get it done. This will help you to increase how much you are working out. Just be careful that you don't cheat too often. Make sure the speed of your repetitions is consistent. Keep in mind that if you compromise your form, you will run the risk of injury.
