Every couple of months I go back to one of my favourite routines. One set per exercise, one rep per set! But hold it in the maximum contraction position for 45 to 60 seconds.
It's quite a radical departure from normal routines.
last time it was great. I was really looking forward to it and felt terrific after it. That's what changing your program around occasionally does. It recharges your enthusiasm.
But variation of your routine does more than this mental thing.
Physiologically it overcomes the stagnation of your body getting habituated to the same exercise. That is, getting used to the same movements and sequence results in stalled progress. Your muscle growth plateaus out and you get stuck.
You've gotta keep life interesting hey.
