Have You Reached a Plateau or is it Just Another Excuse?

Anyone can lift weights like a bodybuilder; lift heavy, rest for 1 - 2 min. between sets, and perform three exercises for each body part. Split your workouts into 3 - 4 workouts a week to focus on 2 (or just 1) body part per session. Exercise with weights three times a week and perform cardio five days a week.
But beware, after about 4 - 6 weeks you might reach

Fortunately, there's my better way. Change things up consistently to keep your body guessing and progressing toward your goal. With my approach, you'll get better results faster as you keep your sessions fun and exciting; thus challenging your body and taking it to it's limits every step of the way.
Here is more evidence supporting my training style of intermittent plyometrics to increase your body's strength and power, build slabs of muscle, and burn unsightly body fat for fuel.
"In this study, we examined the acute effects of manipulating exercise order when combining countermovement jumps and loaded parallel squats in a complex training session, and the acute effects of countermovement jumps and loaded parallel squats on sprinting performance. Eight rugby players participated in five trials, including two that involved performing loaded parallel squats followed by countermovement jumps or vice versa in a randomized cross-over design. Peak rate of force development and peak force were measured during countermovement jumps and loaded parallel squats. Peak power, jump height, and duration of amortization phase were also determined during the countermovement jumps. Peak force during squatting was significantly greater in both cross-over treatments (loaded parallel squats-countermovement jumps and countermovement jumps-loaded parallel squats) compared with the control..."
Not only does the intermittent plyometric work make the weights seem lighter, but it also boosts your body's production of DHEA and heart healthy hormones such as testosterone.
This, the one who engages in high intensity workouts, is the trainee who will get the greatest results. So from now on; always make every rep., of every set, of every exercise, count toward your goal - every time!
Boredom stems from laziness and laziness results in a plateau.
