For anyone trying to lose weight, gain weight, improve athletic performance or increase their strength, the name of the game is progressive overload. What that means is each workout that you have has to be tougher than the last. Whether you increase your reps, set or weight, each workout has to be more intense than the last. Adopting this methodology helps ward off what all gym goers and fitness seekers fear the most, the dreaded plateau.
So the next time you go into the gym, try picking up something besides the little pink 3lb dumbbells and doing your whole routine with that weight. Instead, try something new, whether it be a new weight or a new exercise all together. Your muscles respond best to a changing environment. Push yourself and the results won't be too far behind.
