Is There Such A Thing As Muscle Confusion Workouts? How Effective Are They?

If you want to see progress in the gym the principle of muscle confusion will help you overcome plateaus. It is not a complicated or new concept.

In order for muscle to see gains and make constant and consistent progress you have to shock the muscles. If you are looking for ways to shock or "confuse" your muscles here are some ways.

* Add some weight to each exercise with each workout: I am not saying you have to double the weight but simply adding 5 pounds will work wonders.
* Use a new piece of equipment: this is one of the hardest things to change. Perhaps you have been doing bench presses because you have heard it is the best for chest development. Simply make an adjustment and use dumbbells instead of a barbell or a machine to confuse your body.
* Change the order of your exercises: if you always start with flat bench presses followed by incline and then decline try doing it in reverse order to switch it up. Do this with all muscle groups once in a while.
