Your Fifth Biceps Blasting Tip--Change your routines often
In your fourth lesson you learned about the importance of varying rep ranges and the next tip is closely related to that same topic and it is change your routines often.se . Please be warned I am not saying that "every routine works but nothing works for long" this is absolutely hogwash, this is a theme promoted in magazines to help them justify why they have 4 different programs of building arms in the same issue or in subsequent issues. What I mean by changing routines is "don't stick with routines that just don't work" on average the length of time you should stay with a single routine is 4 weeks, after that you need to cycle the intensity, volume and overload. Sticking with the same weights, reps and sets leads to stagnation and a plateau. By varying the sets, reps, weights and even exercised used we can keep the body in a constant state of adaptation and overcompensation.
This principle is not entirely true for beginners, since they need a longer time to build the necessary skill for exercise form and technique, to establish the proper neuro-muscular and blood flow paths to their muscles. This biological process can take between 4-18 weeks to manifest it. Advanced and intermediate bodybuilders need to change the number of sets, reps and exercises more often to further disrupt the homoeostatic equilibrium in their bodies.
