It is no secret that most people have a bread-and-butter routine, that is one that almost always produces results, but every now-and-then you need to shock the body into new growth.
What follows are two shock routines, however, please only try these if you have been training seriously for over a year.
Here we go.
GET NEGATIVE
Most people now realize that it is the negative (or lowering) portion of a lift that causes most of the growth promoting damage to occur in muscles, but few people realize that this is a very good growth tool, if it is used correctly.
The next time you want to shock your body into some new growth try this.
For example, we will say that you have decided it is your biceps that need shocking, and we will also say that you are going to use barbell curls.
Pick a weight that you can do twenty reps with.
Curl the weight just like you normally would, but for the lowering portion slow it down, way down.
Take thirty seconds to lower the weight.
Keep going like this until you can no longer do any more curls, then very quickly take some weight off the bar and go again.
Keep doing this until you cannot do a single curl with even an empty bar.
UPPER BODY BLAST
This shock routine is for the chest and back and will consist of three exercises.
Flat benches, barbell bent over rows and barbell pull overs.
For each exercise pick a weight that you can do twenty reps with and then do them back to back to back.
That is do them all with as little rest between each as possible.
Three sets of this triple upper body blast should be all you need.
When you are done, your upper body should feel pumped like it has never been pumped before.
A FEW POINTS
For these shock routines to be effective, first you must be fully rested, so that you can give everything you have to them.
Second, the above workouts should only be done a couple of times a year and then only when you feel your body has really gone stale.
Lastly, be careful with them, they are intense.
Remember, you can never start too light.
CONCLUSION
I know the above shock routines will get your body growing again like never before.
But do not stop there; you are only limited by your imagination.
Always be on the lookout for new ways of doing things, not only will this keep your body guessing but it will help keep your mind fresh as well.
KEEP WORKING.
