I once wrote an article entitled "Muscle Confusion," which was not understood by
many. Readers actually made fun of it. I will now attempt to explain in more detail the
essence of that article. The following is dedicated to those of little faith and to the ones
who resist change.

I am sure you are aware of the fact that due to your biorhythms you do not get a good
workout every time you train. For instance, how often do you achieve that intangible
state when every move you make seems to be letter-perfect? When this phenomenon
occurs, you realize what you should experience every time you train.

Apparently, the body is trying to tell you that it does not respond to the same workout
routine every workout session. So, if you understand this fact, you use different exercises,
tempos, combinations of exercises and seemingly illogical sets and reps, or lack of sets
and reps.

I have found that man's logic and nature's logic are totally different. In other words, try
breaking the rules and see what happens.

Suggested routines:

1. 3 sets of 8 reps.
2. 6 sets of 6 reps.
3. 5 sets of 5 reps.
4. 10-8-6-15.
5. Compound routines.
6. Super sets.
7. Push-day and pull-day techniques.
8. Circuit- or station-type routine.
9. 10 sets for 10 reps.
10. Non-specific bulking routine.
11. Chest and back day, arms and delt day, legs third day.
12. Up and down the rack (shock principle).
13. Specialization principle day. (Everyday).
14. 3 days on and 3 days off routine (including supplements).
15. 21 days and 7 rest experiment.
16. Ascending principle and descending principle.
17. 72-hour-rest routine (2 times per week workout).
18. 3 ½ minutes between sets technique.
19. Reps and burns workout.
20. 1+ ½ workout.
21. 1 set to failure + 15 minutes rest.
22. 1 set every hour (all day)
23. 1 muscle a day (overload principle)
