SHOCKIN THE MUSCLES

Anyone have any good routines if I would just want to really shock my muscles. I swith my routine up every so many weeks and just the lifts and reps, But I really wanna give the muscles a shock.

Any Ideas for i guess any muscle group?

try high reps for a couple of weeks. keep the reps from at least 12 up to 20 on all exercises.

Yeah id go with high reps too. In the new MuscleMag Int. magazine one of the bodybuilders suggested going as high as even 50 reps to really shock the muscle.

drop sets, ouch

Training with resistance bands is a great change of pace. Using your 10-12RM on most lifts, but adding resistance bands to the equation puts more stress on the muscles throughout the entire range of motion. Two to three weeks of that will add significant strength

Try this out: 1st exercise do 10, 8, 6 & 20 reps
2nd exercise: 12, 10, 8 & 25 reps
3rd exercise: 12,10, 8 & 20 reps
4th exercise: 12, 12 & 30 reps

SUPERSETS!

I started doing tri sets of biceps at the end of my back day, and a tri set of triceps at the end of chest day. Both at a very high rep 18-20 reps for each movement. Talk about shocking your muscles.

SUPERSETS, and FORCED REPS!!!

I usually do rest-pause, drop sets and forced reps.

Here's something I've done before to change up the bench routine, You pick a weight and aim for 70 reps total, do how ever many sets it takes you to get it.

for example- 205 for 20, 20, 10, 5, 5, 7, 3

something like that^^

I like high reps to change it up... My compound movements are 6-10 reps and iso movements are around 10-15 reps...So high reps in the 20-25 rep range are idea for me, to really shock the muscles...For example on a good workout I did just last night for bis, and back...

DB alt curls 70 x 8 x 3 x 2 (rest pause set)

DB pin wheel curls 70 x 14 (last 2 reps where partials)

Front Lat pulldowns 250 x 10 reps (superset with ---)
DB pullovers 80 x 10

Deadlifts on smythe mach. 3 plates side x 8 reps (partial reps)

2 plates side x 8 reps (full range reps)

thats it
