The many ways you can vary your weight training sessions include:
- Increase reps or sets on a particular exercise.
- Add the same muscle groups over a range of differing exercises.
- Decrease or increase the speed of the repetition on the concentric or eccentric phase.
- Reduce recovery time to increase fatigue in effort to recruit more muscle fibres.
- Vary your training weeks from heavy weights with less reps to lighter with more reps.
- Change up your exercises and perform movements that you wouldn't normally do in a safe and controlled manner.
