SGT (Join to see) I find that, for me, the best way to bust a plateau is to change the workout up. I like to try a bit more "involved" workout, but when I feel a plateau hitting, I fall back to my 5x5 routine to get the basic big sets (Deadlift, Bench, Overhead Press, Bentover Row, & SQUATS!!!). This has been my secret to success. Of course, if your diet is crap, your plateau will stick around because your body can only build so much on a crappy fuel source :)

The 5x5 is very popular. I have a link to my 10x1 workout in the post, but they're not the same at all. I may write about how I use the 5x5 later.
Any feedback for the post?

SGT (Join to see) - I agree with pretty much the whole thing. Variation has been my big thing - don't want the muscles to get fatigued, or "used to doing the same thing". I also agree with the variation portion of not working same group too close together - although this is impossible w/ 5x5s (and any variant of that method) since you do squats each session. Workout time changes invariably with different workouts - depending on if they have more or fewer exercises than the others.
Honestly, I think the entire article is something I ascribe to. Not because it is stuff I've ready, but stuff I learned by working out & listening to my body, as I'm sure the vast majority of people that work out regularly have.
Great post, brother!!!

SGT (Join to see) - Just picked up the new Muscle & Fitness this morning. Man, I hope I look as good at 48 as Terry Crews does. This sitting in a cubicle isn't conducive to that, though...lol.
