cheating with lifts okay?

wanted to hear some feedback from you guys on this and if that is correct or if the guy is off base? I was listening to a youtube video and the guy was saying it was okay to cheat on your lifts as long as you are working the muscle still. i asked my personal trainer and he even says its okay to cheat on the last rep or two.
 
at the end of the day the objective of weight training is to break down the muscle. cheating on a rep will still accomplish that BUT cheating on reps can come at a cost where it opens your chances of injury. sometimes that is okay when you are powerlifting or trying to get a PR. just don't make a habit of it
 
if it’s the last few reps and u can’t possibly do it with perfect form from fatigue, sure. if ur cheating from rep 1 because the weight is too heavy, NO.
