It’s often said that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. (often accredited to Albert Einstein)
To improve is to change; to be perfect is to change often. Winston Churchill
Can you adapt or do you quit? If you find yourself in a training rut then why not mix things up every now and then.
Here is a great training method that focus’ on the same muscle group in a circuit based style.
This routine is part of the ‘Tri-set’ category as the rotation is with 3 exercises. Perform, without rest, start with an activation exercise followed by a more traditional exercise and end with a metabolic exercise.
An example would be: For a back routine you could start with an inverted row (using a smith machine) Holding the bar with and place your feet on a swiss ball (12-15 reps) Then add a round of Pull-ups (wide grip 6-8 reps) and end the routine with cable back rows to fatigue. Rest 2-3 minutes then repeat 3-5 sets depending on experience.
A Chest example would be: start with a push up (12-15 reps) followed by Dumbbell Incline press (6-8 reps) and end with some cable flyes to fatigue. Rest 2-3 minutes then repeat 3-5 sets depending on experience.
The advantages of this type of workout are that it can be used for hypertrophy and/or fat loss. It helps work those under stimulated muscles and it’s a very demanding workout if performed correctly.
