There comes a time when we all get stuck or plateau in our workouts. It just happens and happens to everyone, so you’re not alone. It’s your body’s way of telling you that it already knows your routine, and has become accustomed to the movements your about to put it through. Don’t get discouraged when this happens. What you need to keep in mind when this happens is to switch things up. Alter your rep ranges, or start heavy and strip the weights down each set, or do unilateral exercises...whatever it may be the main focus is to throw your body a curveball.
I recently reached a sticking point in my own training so it
was time for me to switch things up.
When this happens I look for something new to add to my routine. A great resource I use is bodybuilding.com. Their site has numerous free training
programs from legends like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jay Cutler, and Jamie Eason. I just
started a new routine last week and am already noticing a difference in my
muscles that I worked. Yes, I would get sore
before, but this now is a different sore, and that’s what I’m looking for. Because now I know that I have confused and
tricked my body and broke it out of that sticking point. So when you get to that point where you’re
putting the work in, but just not seeing the results that you’d like to be
seeing, just remember, don’t get discouraged, keep up the good work, just switch up your routine, results will
follow. Have a great day everyone!
