When training, our neuromuscular system adapts to specific movement patterns. It is advisable to change the training exercises occasionally to obtain optimal results. I keep a list of all the exercises I perform and which body-part they target. This helps when switching up exercises and saves time.
Also, different movements require different muscle-fiber activation patterns that may stimulate further strength development. For example: if you do chest press (flat) the first time you do chest, if only performing one-exercise per workout, then do incline press the next time. If performing multiple-exercise sets, then the rotational pattern of exercises works well.
Another way of switching up resistance training is the type of training that is done. The following are a few different ones:
- Supersets
- Dropsets
- Assisted Training (eccentric contractions)
- Negative Training (eccentric contractions)
- Slow Training
