24.01.2022 For this week i will be uploading day by day variations on how to break plateaus in your training! Lets get started! HITTING A PLATEAU: A sign of hitting a plateau or the beginning of overtraining is when you suddenly experience a loss in overall strength.This is when you notice a significant decrease in your performance and you can no longer complete the repetitions you once did.... This shows that your body has not been able to recover and grow more muscle tissue. And the bad part is, sometimes when you damage your muscles to this extent, you'll become weaker. And this is when a loss of strength will happen. Solution #1: RECOVERY. Taking a few rest days or even a rest week can allow for your ligaments and joints to take a break, your central nervous system can refresh, allows proper recovery and muscle repair, and you'll come back to the gym refreshed with more motivation. So taking a break will have substantial benefits.

23.01.2022 Day 2 of different variations on how to break plateaus in your training! Solution #2: DROPSETS. These are a familiar technique when you add more volume after you have reached failure with a working set. Lets do an example set with the Benchpress. Lets say you have reached failure on 8 reps and you want to fatigue the muscle group even more to try stimulate new growth, simply drop the weight to a lower number and jump right into another set.... Here is an example below. Set 1: 80kgs for 8 reps Dropset 1: 60kgs for 8 reps Dropset 2: 40kgs for 8 reps Dropset 3: 20kgs for 8 reps If you find you cant complete 8 repetitions thats ok, but if you can go over keep it to 12 repetitions maximum.

22.01.2022 Day 3 of different variations on how to break plateaus in your training! Solution #3: SUPERSETS. A superset is when you perform two exercises one right after the other with no rest between them. You can combine two exercises for either the same muscle group or opposing muscle groups. You want to aim for 6-8 reps for each exercise which will give you a total rep range between 12-16 reps. If you can complete more repetitions then this simply add more weight. This heavier type of rep range will help focus on engaging the type 2b fibres, which have the greatest growth potential.

03.01.2022 Today i completed a deadlifting session. My goal was to complete a 1rm personal best, that goal was not achieved. After the failed lift my mindset was absolutely gone and i was gutted. But as i know our roads to getting stronger will not be easy! There will be bumps as we go along that will test our physical and mental practice. We all need to think positive in any situation that we are in, so instead i got myself a 140kg personal best at 12 reps. Yes its not what i wanted bu...t it was a POSITIVE! This post is designed to encourage every single one of you out there that is trying to achieve something whether it be big or small! YOU can do anything you aspire to do! Work hard! Stay humble! And give every set and rep everything you have! SUFFER THE PAIN OF DISCIPLINE! OR SUFFER THE PAIN OF REGRET! Deadlifting program is in the works...... so stay tuned! See more
