This is difficult to do if you have been locked into the “hard all the time” philosophy. • Even if you don't want to cut the intensity down, you will be forced to do so. • That's so true. If you train full-bore all the time you can make progress but certainly not in a straight line. You will endure a lot of frustration and at some point you will be forced to stop training to failure. And usually that's when you'll overcome the strength plateau. • Stuart then explains what you should do if you've been training to failure all the time and you're stuck: • Learn to keep just a little left in you so that you know there is always something there for next time. When you have made your last perfect rep and know there is only a partial rep left in you, keep it in and wait the extra workout or two until you can perform that rep perfectly. Do not drive yourself to exhaustion and stagnation by forcing out reps you cannot currently do. Save that energy and effort, and combine them with a bit more time and patience. • Whatever you try, never persist with something that does not help to keep your training poundages moving up, no matter how much it may be promoted by others. • So here is the practical application: • 1. If you consistently fail to get the required reps for an exercise, you’re using weights that are too heavy for your average workouts. • 2. Decrease the weight until you can easily get the required reps and are always able to replicate the last workout. • Stop grinding reps. • By not pushing your sets to absolute failure, you’re always leaving some strength in the tank. This will give you the confidence that you’ll be stronger next time. • 3. Use micro loading when possible.
