Not Building Enough Muscle? Then Discover How To Quickly Avoid Dangerous Training Plateaus. Here are a few easy to follow tips to help you blow thru any training plateau!

Change your Training Program every 4 weeks: A good training program is designed to change your workout every 4 weeks, thus utilizing the principle of "muscle confusion" Why? The human body is a great machine, the key to our survival as a species is our ability to adapt. (Sheesh can you believe that??) The body quickly adapts to physical stress. That's why it's important to strive to increase the amount of effort you use each time you workout. Track your results wit a training log. A cheap composition notebook will do. No need to spend money for a fancy one. Hit the Muscle from A Different Angle: I remember my first grappling class. Man, was I sore the next day! Why? Even thou the muscles were well trained they were being used in a new way, a way that they weren't used before. I'm sure you have heard the term muscle memory, right? Well the muscles "learn" how to do an exercise movement. They respond by growing but once that "pattern" has been stored in your "muscle memory" the body begins to plateau.Rest: Are you sleeping enough?: In time of war one of the best techniques of "mind control" is sleep deprivation. When you don't sleep enough you get cranky, right? Well your muscles get cranky too and they decide not to grow.Proper Nutrition: Are you taking in the proper amount of protein to allow your body to feed the muscle? Are you doing a pre-training protein meal or drink? Are you having (30 minutes after your strength training workout only) a post-training, carb and protein meal or drink? These are critical factors to muscle growth.Eccentric training: Are you using eccentric training, a scientifically proven method that will yield the largest strength and muscle gains as part of your training program.?Follow these tips and you will soon find yourself buying new clothes.
