Importance of Periodizing

Periodizing your workouts is one of the most important aspects in getting the most out of your workouts. You will see the most results the fastest when you simply just change little alterations to your workout routines. The people who live by single workout and believe nothings better than theirs are the most annoying to me and will not experience the progress that those who periodize will. Several studies have proven that people who periodize their workout gain more than 2 pounds more of lean body fat, lose 2.2% more body fat, and improve their leg press and bench by more than 10 pounds over a period of 12 weeks as compared to those who dont periodize their workouts. 

The human body gets used to workouts that it does repetitively in order to naturally increase its efficiency,  which is the natural reaction for the human body. Periodizing workouts by simply changing grips, reps or sets, etc. keeps the body on edge and allows it to grow  faster and in greater intervals.

Heres one of the many articles concerning the results of periodizing your workout:
