The double effect

A neat little trick when it comes to bringing up a lift that is lagging behind the rest is performing the exercise twice in the workout. For example Squats, dips, pull ups, push ups, bent rows, Squats. By doing this your nervous system adapts by familiarising the movement pattern making you more efficient and in turn stronger at the chosen exercise. This is especially effective when trying to increase your strength in a given lift. As for gaining size, its advantageous in regards to the fact that the targeted muscle groups involved in the particular lift will get extra stimulation through the extended volume and time under tension leading to more growth.
