Have you reached a plateau in your workout routine and just can’t seem to get to the next level? Let me ask a question first…When was the last time your changed your routine?? That in itself could be the reason you are at a plateau. It is best to change up your routine every 4-6 weeks. There are many ways to do that. Today however, I am going to discuss the Pre-exhaustion System.
If you are at a crossroads and want to learn how to build muscle, this pre-exhaustion system can kick up your routine a notch! You will definitely increase your muscle size. What you have to do is perform successive sets of 2 different exercises for the same body part. For instance, perform chest presses to fatigue, then immediately do chest flys. How about doing squats to fatigue, then do lunges immediately after your last set of squats. With this system it forces the muscle group to work longer and harder, resulting in building mass.
It ALWAYS helps to keep your routine fresh! Change the exercises, or you can change the weight and number of reps. Your muscles do have a memory and if you are not constantly challenging them, you won’t see progress!
