Discover How to Manipulate Training Variables

Everyone will inadvertently hit a frustrating plateau in their training at on time or another. You're cruising along for awhile, gaining strenght, losing fat, and looking better, and then all of a sudden it hits. Suddenly, you find yourself even weaker than before on your lifts, or you find that you've gained back a couple of pounds. It happens to everyone. Most of the time, these plateaus occur because people rarely change their training variable over time. Many people stick to the same type of exercises for the same basic sets and reps and rest periods with the same boring cardio routine. Well, I hope to open your mind and bring some creativity to your workouts!!

There are many ways that you can strategically modify your training variables to assure that you maximize your fat loss and/or muscle building reponse to exercise. Most people only think about changing their sets and reps performed, if they even think about changing their routine at all. However, other variables that can drastically affect your results are changing the order of the exercises (sequence), exercise grouping (super-setting, circuit training, tri-sets, etc), exercise type (multi-joint or single-joint, free-weight or machine based), the number of exercises per workout, the amount of resistance, the time under tention, the work (sets x reps x distance moved), rest periods between sets, repitition speed, range of motion, exercise angle (incline, flat, declined, bent over, upright, etc), training duration per workout, and training frequency per week.

Sounds like a lot of different training aspects to consider in order to achieve the best results from your workouts, doesn't it?

Well, that's where a knowledgeable personal trainer can make sense of all this for you to make sure that your training doesn't get stale.
