Variety. It's the best cure for most lifting plateaus. After following
even the best weight lifting program, after a while, you need to
take your muscle fibers on a retreat. Like the white collar worker
who goes on an extended camping trip in the mountains to get away
from the hustle and bustle of city life, muscles too, need to get
away from it all.
So, if you want to be your best in the weight room, take this challenge;
pack up your bench and squat rack for a while. It's time for an
Iron Alternative get away.
