Plateaus
I seem to have reached a plateau in both the weight im gaining on the bar aswell as on my physique. Training is becoming boring due to the same old day in day out im stronger than when i started and still gaining slightly but not as much as i would like to. Due to this fact i have decided to start cycling my heavy training in with a 100 rep training program that i researched up on this will mean that i am able to keep my training more interesting as well as the added bonus of all the advantages that 100 rep training is supposed to achieve. I believe that doing this type of cycling should mean that i am able to continue to make the gains i would like to meaning that my cycling program would look as follows:
12 weeks heavy training
2 weeks 100 rep training
4 weeks heavy training
2 weeks 100 rep training
4 weeks heavy training
2 weeks 100 rep training
then repeat the cycle. As i have already done the 12 weeks of heavy training starting next week i will be starting the first week of my 100 rep training.

Yep - you have to shake things up now and then to keep making progress. I’d heard of 100 rep workouts before but never tried one. It will be interesting to see if this does the trick for you. Good luck and keep up the good work!

M&F had this workout article call "simply huge in 6 weeks", you can find it online. It does heavy one week, then high reps the next week causeing muscle confusion. maybe that could help.
