Another approach to freshening our weight workouts is to adjust the variables. These include the number of reps, the number of sets, and the intensity (or what weight we use as a percentage of our single rep maximum).
Captain Obvious would like a word here. We don’t want to increase all the variables at once. If we choose, for example, to do a lot more reps, we’re going to need to choose lighter weights. We need to be fresh-minded (yes, I just made that word up), paying attention to our bodies as we work to know when we have had enough.
Again, we don’t have to switch all the variables for all our workouts. Making one a week or one a month different can be plenty to keep our bodies entertained and growing.
