Our body has the wonderful ability to adapt to all daily situations imposed on him and the training is no exception. So from time to time we need to change our routine to continue generating stimuli and still avoid the dreaded muscle stagnation. But when and what is the most appropriate way to change the workout?
• Changing:
Before knowing "when" you need to know "how", which is exactly where most people do incorrectly. The training of the change is not necessarily a radical change, especially if you already know your body and know which exercises are most productive for you. Sometimes people need to leave a well-made training and go into another totally preposterous, and could make only a few changes to continue having results.
Here are some ways that we can change in our training to generate new stimuli without disfiguring it completely:
•Series Volume
•Number of replicates
•Change in the order of execution of compound exercises
•Number of exercises
Days that you train the same muscle
Rest time between sets
Use variations to the classic exercises (Example: change the bench press bar to halter; do front squats instead of the classic, etc ...)
Any of the above factors when modified can generate significant changes in the training and change it without the water to wine.
•When changing:
As much as there are guides on the internet saying that you should change your training in a specific period, unfortunately this issue is purely individual. Only you will know say when it's time to change your workout and remember that in "team that is winning, not moving," that is, if a workout is bringing results and progression of loads, you need not change it just because training in exchange for a fixed period.
Instead, consider how your body is responding to training and modify it only when witness lack of results. Avoid sudden changes and / or frequent the training, because this way you will never know what was really working.
•Tips:
You can continue with the same training as long as you feel necessary, there is no minimum or maximum limit. What is important is that it is bringing progress.
Training alone does not make miracle. If the diet is lacking, there will be training in the world will compensate this "hole".
Patience is the key. It is impossible to find out if a workout is bad in just a few weeks of experience. Take your time before you start making changes.
