Are you trying to get the weight from a to b ? Are you trying to build muscle ? If you are trying to build muscle you must be in total control. Total control of the weight, movement and momentum. For instance, if you are not able to pause at any given moment during a repetition then you are not in a state of total control. By sacrificing proper form for momentum, the muscle contractions may be non existent or very weak; hardly working the muscle and in turn only wasting energy. Instead of ego lifting the focus must be on owning every repetition, set and session in every aspect.
Tip: Start off with a low weight and pause each rep until you reach a weight you cannot do this. Then stick to that weight until you get stronger. For body weight exercises pause the rep at any point you can until full range of motion can be fully reached.
