Same as most of the cheaters.
Say I pick a weight I can do 8 strict reps, i'll do 8 reps for most sets then throw in 2 or 3 cheat reps on the last set. That said, it's only really on things like rows or curls.
I prefer forced reps or negatives, it allows to get that extra rep / stimulation out without sacrificing form.
Yeah, partner is the ket point there. Firstly you need one and secondly he knows what's he's doing. I've yet to see a responsible spotter. Farrrk it's not hard.
You seem to prefer lifting weights the Olympic weightlifting way instead of the strictly bodybuilding way. By that I mean you don't mind bringing momentum into your lifting equation and that is fine. What the lifters were doing in that seated cable rows video is quite fine, and that belongs to the momentum method. Furthermore, using momentum, you would obviously need to do more to achieve the desired results, as in your preference of push press over a strict military press.Personally, I always choose a method that will give me more muscular micro-trauma, involve more muscle groups, and allow me to do squeeze a few more reps out at the end (as long as it doesn't compromise form negatively, such as provoking injury). I prefer push press over military press, I do throw my weight around a bit on cable rows like the fellas in this video, and I believe in finishing a set with a couple of cheat reps as long as you don't provoke injury.

I have not seen any evidence of it, not in the video you've posted, and not in your preference of a push press over a military press.Are cheat reps ok?
x2!I have a bit of a pet peeve, form police...there can be a time for cheat reps, especially the last few reps on a set of rows.
