Change is good

Continuing to do the same thing your doing now will continue to get the same result. Change forces us to adapt and grow.

Try something new and different, often power lifters and other strength focused trainers neglect to include some cardio training. Cardio helps to keep you limber and builds speed and power in addition to raw strength.

In strong man competitions cardio conditioning is extremely important in events that require carrying weights over distances of up inclines.

And remember cardio does not have to be areboics or a step climer. Get out and play racket ball or something totaly different once in a while. Try something you are not the best at as well it helps to keep you in check with reality.

Even when it just comes to weights try different positions and lifts, switch things around so you don't so adapt to a routine that you plateau. Change is good not only does it help keep you improving it also help keep you excited and that goes a long way to helping you keep your commitments to train by your schedule.
