There may come a time when you get too strong for your weights. In between getting heavier weights, here are a few tips to continue seeing results with what you already have.
Three Tips for Progressing when your Weights get too Easy
1. Lift slow. If you always lift fast than lifting slow could fatigue you with only half the reps. There's a chance you might not even need new weights yet!
2. Switch to body weight exercises. Push ups, pull ups, squats, lunges and chin ups are very challenging. Plus switching your routine from free weights to body weight will progress your results quickly.
3. Switch to resistance tubes. You would be surprised how tough a heavy weight resistance tube is. Using them for bent rows, bicep curls, bench press, squats, lateral raises and squats will keep progressing. Plus you could take them to the park with you for an outdoor workout.
Don't become discouraged when your weights are too light. It's great to be able to say you are too strong for them! Just remember to keep switching up your routine and use these tips to keep your muscles maintained until you get some heavier weights.
Stay Lifting!
