Definition of insanity
Have you ever heard that saying, “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results”? I believe it was Albert Einstein that said it.
The same goes for your training. If you are doing the same workout routine day in and day out, all you are going to do is peak, and never go any farther. You have to add different workout routines to achieve nicely chiseled physique.
You should have a separate routine for each day that you work out, or even just rotate your routines.
Of course, you have to also consider what type of foods you are consuming. The athlete who fuels his body with twinkies and snickers will never get as far as the athlete who chooses wholesome and natural nutrients to fuel his or her muscles.
