Changing it up

Every few weeks I like to change my routine because I get bored with what I'm doing. It's good to change your routine up as your body won't expect it as it is used to doing the same exercises, so your body will be shocked by the new routine and may grow faster. I changed my routine this week, this is what I did:

Bench press - 6 sets of trying to get 10 reps: The first 2 sets you do your max weight and try and get 10 reps, the next 2 sets you take 5kg off and try and get 10 reps, then the last 2 you take another 5kg off. This gives you such a good pump and is a good mass builder.

Dumbell Incline Bench Press - 6 sets of 10 reps - This exercise is good for squeezing and stretching. Don't come down to take the tension on the pec as it will go onto the shoulders

Shoulder Press - 6 sets of trying to get 10 - Again doing what I said with the weight for each 2 sets. ON shoulder press using a short range of motion, so elbows don't come lower than 90 degrees to your body and you don't lock your arms out at the top.

Dips - 6 sets of trying to get 10 - This is mainly for your triceps so don't come all the way down and bring your chest into it. Squeeze the triceps at the top and keep your arms into your sides for maximum focus on the triceps.

After this I went onto calves. I got on the calve raise machine and did 3 second hold at the bottom, 3 second squeeze at the top. 12 reps for 6 sets. killer.
