Here’s 1 of
my BIGGEST training secrets…always mix your training every time you hit the
gym. This applies to all your muscle groups. It can be mixing the angles or
reps or sets or the combination etc. Whatever it is, just mix it up!
Say you are
training your biceps. You can do the following:-
Heavy weight:
5 reps x 20 sets
Normal
weight: 15 reps X 10 sets
Light weight:
20 reps x 10 sets
You can use a
straight Olympic bar or EZ bar, you can stand or sit down in an incline
position, you can even use dumbbells or the preacher curl rest, you can do the
weights as a pyramid or a half pyramid, different lifting an resting tempos etc.
The idea here is to constantly mix it up.
What happens
here is that you are constantly shocking your muscles and this is an extremely
important element in weight training. When you keep your muscles off balance,
they work harder as they can never build up a resistance and that gives you a
better result that equates to muscle growth!
You shouldn’t
be doing the same routine etc at every workout as you’ll never maximize your
result. Your muscles tend to become complacent and resist growth if you are
constantly doing the same workout.
