Trouble moving up in weight? Trouble moving up in weight?
 		Save Tip

When I lift, sometimes I find it difficult to move up in weight. I reach the panicle if you will. I find this common with such exercises as bicep curls. To overcome this I sometimes change my style lifting, but still working the same muscles. They call this muscle confusion. So instead of doing curls with free-weights I’ll switch to the preacher curl machine and do an extensive workout routine on that machine for several weeks. Then after I see improvement on that machine I’ll try to go back to free-weights again. Sometimes it’s all in your head and your mentally blocking yourself from moving up to that next set of weight. It’s amazing how much psychology relates to fitness.
