I do not say that you should use it on every rep... But let's say you know you won't do your last one, should you
A) Don't do it?
B) Do it using little bit of momentum?
C) Do it stuck at the bottom kill your energy with a spotter making you lift it in 10sec?
Now let's say what I call momentum is not about swinging but more of letting it goes into your chest and use this time to push an explosive motion?
Well, no for the effectivement of it, I have multiple studies provided by multiple source that prove that in BP, Lat Pull Down, Bent Over Row, Deadlift.
You can have a better direct stimulus by explosive motion assisted with momentum as it makes the explosion speed higher?
Does it make sense to you?
Now in a powerlifting event, you are training for strenght... whereas in bodybuilding, you don't care about the strenght really, more about the stimuli you can provide, I would rather combine both... But I still think momentum is a tool any bodybuilder can use to achieve 'the next level'.
