In a rut

[iron addict]

Upon finding a basic format that provides a lifter to become progressive in the gym, most lifters think they have struck the mother lode. Then after a time the gains dry up. If you thrive on volume there are many avenues that will work because it is a given that you have more work capacity than joe average hardgainer. If you are a hardgainer your options are more limited. But nontheless, their are MANY, MANY ways to change things up enough to get growth going again while still staying within a framework that will allow growth.

You can:

Change the rep cadence
Rep format
intensity techniques
Lifts performed
order in which the lifts are perfomed
basic routine strucure (body part breakdown)
rest days
intensity cycling

and the list goes on..............

Bottom line is, if you are stuck, get out of the rut NOW!!!

Agreed. I think one of the most effective changes is order of bodys parts worked. Most people wont budge on order, especially doing chest early in the week and legs last.
