Shock your muscles !! Shock your muscles !!
Save Tip

If you have been training regularly for at least six months and have gotten stale or reached a lack of progress plateau, try jolting and shocking your muscles into new growth by changing your routine completely. Increase the weight if you can do more than 10 reps. Shorten your time between sets. Remember, to get maximum results, you need maximum effort.

OldeButGoode Yes. I've been blessed with not experiencing boredom but I know people who have been. Then their aches and pains bother them more also.

OldeButGoode Thanks fitnessgrl - Often even a small change in weight, angle, less weight and more reps or different exercise will stimulate the muscle to become stronger,etc.

fitnessgrl I try to change my routine about every 4-6 weeks. Keeps my body guessing and training hard! Great tip!

OldeButGoode plucky - I find myself doing less supersets and more intense heavy weights. A lot of stripping method routines on the bench and preacher curls.
