Perpetual muscle growth can only be achieved through increasing workout intensity in a corresponding manner to the muscle mass increase. A body builder should therefore have multiple ideas on the standby, on how to increase workout intensity. Such an increase need not only be featured in the number of sets or reps done during weight lifting. Rather, it is important that the body builder comes up with creative ways of increasing intensity by diversifying the exercises done during a single workout. Increasing intensity through diversity of exercises is very helpful in maintaining motivation high and making body building workouts enjoyable. Perpetually increasing the number of reps for the same old exercises can turn out to be a morale killer after a while. A better alternative would be to increase the types of exercises done to stimulate growth of different target muscle groups. A diversified workout routine is also much more effective than one incorporating a few exercises done repetitively. The diverse exercises employed in the workout routine should be done to failure so as to achieve any meaningful and speedy muscle gains. A good example is bicep exercises which after the initial increase of the number of sets done with a medium weight can be intensified by adding the number of reps done in each set. Then if further intensity is needed the body builder can decide to use a heavier weight for some time. Time comes when even this intensity is not enough to stimulate maximal muscle mass generation. At this point it is better to diversify the bicep exercises rather than add more reps for each set. Such diversity may incorporate negative exercises, usually called eccentric exercises. Pulls and fold can further be added to the lifting exercises as part of the workload in a single workout session targeting the biceps. Muscle tissues are generated by the intensity level not by the reps number and as long as the intensity is progressive, growth will still occur. That is why it is possible to prompt greater muscle contractions through a variety of exercises that all add up to yield the desired increase of intensity. Emphasis being on intensity levels, a variety of exercises can result to greater muscular growth, lesser time spent during rest periods between sets and more efficient muscle group stimulation as compared to a single more rep exercises. It is also important to remember that working a muscle group to momentary failure with a single exercise set does not necessarily mean that the muscle group has exerted the maximum possible effort. Only a diversified intensity can force a muscle group to optimal failure training from the various angles possible. An assorted range of exercises are more suitable for beginners and lightweight trainees who need to grow into the heavy staff gradually. The major benefit that accrues from a diversified intensity is conditioning the body’s muscle network to the flexibility, stamina and strength necessary to handle heavier weights when time comes to go heavy.
