Have you ever wondered why your muscles stop growing? This is referred to as a plateau. A plateau something that can hinder your muscle-building success. Fortunately, there is a way to move pass this dreaded plateau. Just so you know, plateaus generally occur every five or six weeks. Everyone experiences them, and if they haven’t – they eventually will, especially if they aren’t focusing on variety and constant change in workouts.
The key to persistent progress is to keep your workouts interesting. Since gaining more muscle mass is your ultimate goal, you want to make sure that you do not add more reps. Instead, your focus should be on increasing the weight. You should also rest each muscle for at least 48 hours before working it again. Muscles can only grow when they are resting, so working them each and every day will get you no where. Remember to avoid the plateau and to rest – only then will you experience continuous muscle-growth and progress.
