1. Change the time of day you lift.



3. Change the order of exercises you use each workout and never repeat the same order for at least 6-7 workouts.

5. Rest pause between reps for a couple of extra seconds to recover more fibers during your set. This will help you break through any plateaus you may be experiencing.

7. You may do partial sets. Do a full rep, followed by a ¼ rep, followed by a full rep, followed by a ½ rep, followed by a full rep, followed by ¾ rep. This sequence may be repeated three times through without rest. (Be ready to work with extra intensity for this one.)

9. Do highly focused stretching in-between sets. Thoroughly stretch the muscle group you are targeting for a solid 10-15 seconds between sets and hold the stretch. Do this every time you rest for one week and observe the results.

11. Double your reps on every lift once a month. Get yourself out of your own comfort zone.

Those are a few to keep mixing things up. Have fun experimenting with variations of your normal routine. The best workout you can do is the one you have not tried yet. Go in to the weight room each time with the intention to shock your muscles. If you do, you will soon be rewarded with incredible gains. Hit it hard!
