3. Increase Volume
Let’s forget about changing up the weight for a second. The other way to force muscle growth is through increasing the amount of sets and reps. Does this mean you can completely ignore adding weight? Of course not. Light weight at high volume doesn’t have a real effect when it comes to building muscle. You need to pump up the sets with heavy weight to see real results.
Know your limits, don’t increase your volume but lose all that intensity. Then you’re not gaining anything. It’s easy to start doing 4 sets instead of 3 only to have the last one be half-assed.
