Avoid Strength Training Plateaus

If you're new to a strength training, it's common to hit a plateau after several months. If you answer "yes" to any one of the following questions, you may not be maximizing your workouts. Do you perform the same number of repetitions with the same amount of weight, or do the same exercises in the same order each time you work out? Are you focusing solely on your workouts rather than considering what you do before and after them? Find out how you can avoid plateaus from ACE Exercise Scientist, Jessica Matthews.

Intensity is all-important.

Here's how to know the intensity of any weightlifting exercise you do:

2. Divide that number by the time it takes you to lift it

future workout.
