Instinctive Weight Training

Instinctive training is basically where you adjust your workout each time depending on how you feel during the workout.

Why do instinctive training?

Following a strict program day in and day out is boring. Being able to change your routine workout all the time, will give you the energy and motivation to want to work out harder. Over time your body and mind gets stale to the same routine. By changing your routine, you will help avoid plateaus in strength and muscle gains.

Instinctive Training Workout:

Instinctive training is not for beginners. You need to build up a foundation and figure out what works. You will never figure out things, if you are constantly changing your workout on a whim. Save instinctive training for when your more experienced and your body is hitting plateaus.

Many bodybuilders seem to do their workouts from memory at the gym. This is because they do the same routine over and over. I’ve always kept a notebook with me to keep track of my lifts. If you want to do instinctive training, you definitely need to have a notebook so you can keep track of changes.
