So you've rested and have a new plan of attack or maybe you can't think of anything. Well, what I went with is the 5x5 workout.
It's always a good idea to change the number of reps and sets to confuse the body like I had mentioned previously. This in conjunction with different exercises for the muscle groups works well to get those results rolling again.
The 5x5 routine is simply 5 sets of 5 reps. When you're lowering reps, you will want to increase the weight. Before we were doing 8 reps for 3 sets. You will want to bump the weight up to where you can get 5 reps in but no more. Repeat for 4 more times to complete the 5 sets.
The 5x5 is usually used to focus on strength gain, but it really did work for me when I hit the plateau. Not only did it increase my strength, it kept the mass coming as well.
Naturally thin? Tried everything in the book to gain weight and have failed? It's in fact easy and achievable and I'll show you how! Follow my journey to success. Real results written by a real person.
