How to Keep Getting Results From Your Weight Lifting Program

If you have been lifting weights for any length of time then you know after about 3 to 6 months the results and gains will end. If you are new to weight lifting you have probably experienced this and don't know what went wrong.

When you begin a weight lifting routine you will notice maximum results in the first three months. However, your results will begin to stop within three to six months. The reason this happens is because your body and muscles get used to the routine and stop responding to the exercise. So if you notice that you are not getting the results like before it's not because you are doing something wrong.

The best way to combat this is to switch up your routine and do different exercises on different days. For example 1 week do short bursts of low repetition heavy weight lifting. For a low repetition heavy weight routine you want to make sure you are lifting 80% of your 1 rep max. The following week you might want to concentrate on mixing up your routine. Isolating one muscle group in a workout session then on the next session isolating another muscle group. You may also want or need to increase the weight you are lifting. The idea is to not let your body or muscles get used to one exercise routine. You have to constantly shock your muscles into growth.

You also might want to consider adding to your caloric intake. Preferably your protein intake. Proteins are the building blocks for muscle gain. I don't advise upping your calories drastically. Start small 5,10 15 or 20 until your body gets used to consuming the extra calories. Watch your carbohydrate, fat and sugar intake and be sure to include some cardio exercises into your routine.

If you do all that is advised in this article you should once again begin to see results in your muscle mass and gain.
