When it comes to bodybuilding, you may do a lot of hard work for no good reason if you are not doing it the right way. Bodybuilding needs a lot of intensity for it to really work. Therefore, you should have the intensity placed in priority over the motions.
One needs to swap exercises and workouts as long as the body gets used to certain drills. Workouts are different and each can only bring a certain degree of intensity. However, you need to be the one defining what levels you cannot go past. It is your body after all. Here is how to know which level is palatable.
1) Try supersets. A superset is done when the person exercising does two exercises in quick succession, meaning there are no pauses in between the two. Take for example, some people who normally do 5 sets of biceps exercises and later 5 sets for triceps.
Therefore, one who supersets these will be doing a set of biceps normally and follow this up with a set of triceps first, before he takes a short break. He may then follow this up with a second superset. When you superset twice you will end up doing a giant set.
2) Drop sets. This is a style that requires one to start a certain exercise and proceed until he cannot continue and immediately carry a lighter weight and does the same.
A good example would be to start with your heaviest weight, say the 40 pounds one, lift it until you give up, pick up a 35 pounds weight and repeat the same.
3) Intensity can also be increased by reducing the time that you take between sets. To decrease it from 3 minutes to about 1 minute will often make it a notch more intense.
You need to vary the intensity when you are carrying out the bodybuilding schedule. Rest enough and make sure that the varying mixes of exercise bring the best results to you.
