Sometimes it seems like no matter what we do, we just can’t get our bodies to strengthen further. We plateau and just keep doing the same exercise week after week with no change.
One great way to jumpstart our bodies is to perform the same exercise, with lower weights, in slow motion. The gradual motion, when controlled properly, isolates individual muscles and insures that each is worked to it’s maximum capacity. You should feel a dramatic increase of intensity if you double the duration of each lift, and, just as important, each gradual lowering of the weight.
Be sure to eat and drink well after a workout like this; your body will need it!
