Most guys go into the gym and just lift weights without a real plan of attack
. Over time they make some progress, but eventually they hit a plateau. Amazingly they stick with the same program even though they are no longer getting any results. Other guys may cycle their training to some degree by starting out with sets of ten reps and then increasing the weight each workout while they drop the number of reps. Ultimately this approach can also lead to frustrating plateaus. It's clear that there is a need to do something different, but most guys just don't know what else to do.
