Avoid Plateauing with the Super Slow Muscle Gaining Workout

With the "Super Slow Muscle Mass Gaining Workout" (as I call it), you really can't avoid plateau, as with all routines. However, I have come up with a really good way to combat the plateau effect with this routine. You will still workout the same number of days, and it shouldn't take any longer than your current workout does. Basically, it is the opposite of the super slow routine, but it works great, and it still involves breaking down your muscles as much as possible.

The way you do this is to perform exercises for the same muscle groups, preferably different than the regular ones you do, and putting on enough weight to where you know you can do at least 12-15 reps. You then proceed to do the exercise as many times as possible until you fail. When you stop, have a stopwatch or timer ready, rest for 30 seconds. Begin your second set, going until failure. Then rest for 30 seconds. On your third and final set, do as many as you can, and on the final rep, hold the exercise halfway until you can't hold it any longer.

Keep in mind that when you do these, you DO NOT adjust the weight between sets. Also be aware that you do not want to go super slow on these sets. You want to maintain good form, but move at a fairly brisk speed. The following are really good ways to do this routine when you feel yourself plateauing on the super slow muscle gaining workout.

1. Tricep Pushdowns, skull crushers, other tricep machine
2. Seated Rows
3. Leg Press
4. Pec deck, flys or bench machine
5. Dumbell bicep curls
6. dumbell shoulder press

In my next post, I am going to show you how to put this whole workout together to make it work like a machine and help you start gaining muscle mass like a turbocharged machine.
