Go Heavier
Get stuck in such a rut and your results are bound to level off, to plateau. At this point, itâs about time to switch things up.*If youâre like me, youâre not a fan of high reps â sets of 15, 20+ â so the only other option for changing things up from a rep-count standpoint is to decrease reps, which naturally means youâll have to go a little heavier than youâre used to with 8-12 reps.

When my routine starts to get a little stale, one thing I love doing is working in heavy sets. Not necessarily sets of one, two or three reps (Iâm not a powerlifter), but rather sets of five and six reps. Going heavy like this, I feel, gives the body a different training stimulus to promote plateau-busting. Plus, I just like the way my muscles feel when theyâve handled some heavier weights â they feel stronger, of course, but also a bit harder, and I feel leaner, too. I like that.
