There’s always more you can do to improve your muscle. Below I’ve listed a few extras you can ease into your workout.
Ditch the Bench – By standing while you workout you engage your core which will increase your overall body strength.
Weave Your Workout – When you change body parts between reps, you’re not only more efficient but it helps you build more muscle.
Go for Volume, Not Weight – Increase the reps but keep the weight challenging, you’ll sculpt a better looking body. Working in more reps with your heavier days can give you a great mix.
Contract Your Muscles – When you’re working a muscle group, squeeze the muscles when you lift. You won’t be able to push/pull as much as you normally would but your muscles will grow more and you’ll feel an even better pump than usual.
Minimize Rest Time – Don’t let your rest linger on before getting back on the proverbial horse. Keep your muscles working on fast pace and your workout will be enhanced many times over.
