Like A Broken Record…?

Going over and over and over the same workout protocols for building that precious mass is stopping you getting the real mass and muscle you are capable of.  Change it up, do things you’ve never considered doing, then get back on the wagon!  Gains are coming once you insert real variety in your protocols…

When I first got into fitness at 17 years old, my passion was body building.  Plain and simple.  I had previously been heavily into football (soccer) and other team sports requiring intense cardio capabilities.  But as my interest in bodybuilding exploded I immediately wanted to know why some guys built muscle and a lot didn’t.  I was 17 years old and open to learning from anyone…

Obviously we know genetics play there role, but this is not about genetics.  This is about changing up your training to illicit maximum response from your muscles.  Again, we know a change is needed- we all change reps, sets, weights etc etc.

However the change I’m talking about is one that is becoming ever more common and popular amongst the people training for new muscle and impressive physical appearance.

That change and the weapon to insert into your routine is ‘protocol change-up’.

I’ve been lucky enough to train alongside some of the smartest bodybuilders and muscle trainees in many different countries and the one thing 99% (the other 1% relied on ‘the juice’:) of them explained was their desire to completely take time off of serious heavy weights and insert high intensity circuit and body weight routines into their schedules – THEN they come back to the weights.

This is not something especially new but it does suprise me just how many people stay stuck in the same routine and mindlessly continue down one path of training.

Now there’s a time and a place for this change up, but the important thing is to do it!

Some of the biggest guys I know routinely throw in sessions of tabata training, M.I.T. Workouts, cross-fit and other full body ass-kick training.  The benefit of total body muscular stimulation as well as challenging your kinetic chain with diverse training is of such high benefit to stimulating new muscle growth its surprising more people don’t do it.

I’m going to go over a selection of other protocols that I’ve had clients and friends inserting into their regimes to stimulate stubborn muscle fibers and blast through plateaus in coming posts.  But to briefly conclude it seems that most smart bodybuilders and those looking to fire up their muscle gaining potential know the benefits of hitting their body from numerous angles with diverse training to keep it guessing and increasing its demand for much needed muscle.
