Did you just hit a performance wall? It does happen to most bodybuilders. You work out regularly and seriously every time you frequent the gym. You feel fine and you've started gaining muscle mass since the first time you started and your body has been toned since then, but, all of a sudden, for no apparent reason it seems, you've become weaker and your muscle gain plan isn't as effective as it used to be. You started to gain weight as well. What's happening? don't worry. It happens to almost every bodybuilder.
Whats the reason for hitting the performance wall? Its your exercising practices. Your muscle gain workouts are turning old. Many people begin to get comfortable with their regimen. They perform the same exercises again and again every time they work out. The body then becomes used to the workout and doesn't see any challenge. Your muscles have met the demands of your regimen and are no longer being challenged. You have to put additional demands on your body if you're going to grow your muscles.
The list below helps give suggestions on how you can improve your performance.
* Perform your exercises in sets, and vary the order of the sets.
* Vary the type of exercises: single-joint, free-weight, multi-joint, and machine-based.
* Do more exercises in a workout.
* Frequent the gym one more time in a week than you normally would.
* Slowly increase the amount of weight or resistance used.
* Vary the order that you perform your current exercises in.
* Keep your muscles under tension for a longer period of time.
* Keep a greater range of motion.
* Vary the level of bodily stability by sitting, standing, on one leg, etc.
* Increase your volume of exercise.
* Have longer periods of rest between sets.
* Vary the performance angle: flat, bent over, or declined.
After you add some of these small changes to your regimen, you can get back on track of your bodybuilding regimen. you'll start seeing your workout become effective again. Think about using some of the following variables in order to add some creativity to you regimen as well.
* Attempt to do ten sets of three, with twenty-second rest periods between sets.
* Increase the weight and do six sets of six repetitions, three minutes of sprinting on the treadmill between sets.
*Attempt to use a near-maximum weight and perform ten sets of one repetition. Rest for 30 seconds in between your sets.
* Try lifting lighter than normal weights and doing only one set of about fifty reps for each of the exercises.
* Perform a workout based on only one single full-body exercise, such as dumbbell squat and presses or barbell clean and presses, and do that sole exercise exclusively for a vigorous twenty minutes.
* Do twelve different full-body exercises without resting in between exercises.
* Do the above exercises again in the opposite order.
* Do your exercises at a faster repetition rate, and then again as slowly as possible.
Changing workout sessions is a good way to ensure fat loss and fast muscle gain which makes the most out of every session.
