Pre-exhaustion followed by increased load can help break through plateaus and take the gains to the next level.

It's arm day every day! 😂

Bodybuilders this is for you!
Highlighted are some different variations when what you have been doing becomes stale. An important concept in program design to take into consideration is the balance between directed adaptation and the law of accommodation. Directed adaptation means that you need specificity in order to make neural adaptations, recruit more muscle and finally increase muscular hypertrophy through an increase in mechanical tension. Essentially, you do NOT want to do random things in the weight room each time you train. The law of accommodation says that the longer you keep training variables constant (movements, rep ranges, tempo, etc), the greater the diminishing of returns. Specifically when it comes to arms, it may be more important to use greater variation of movements and rep ranges from mesocycle to mesocycle in order to maintain a solid ratio of stimulus to fatigue. A solid can stimulus can be measure via the pump and ability to progressively overload over time As there are only so many arm exercises available to choose from, I recommend progressing on 2-4 different bicep and tricep exercises per block to keep some movements fresh for when you incorporate them in a future block. Here are a few movements as well as a leg exercise that may yield a great novel stimulus in your next mesocycle or a different mesocycle down the road. Please do not just throw these movements into your programming randomly, but instead make sure that they make sense in the grand scheme of your entire macrocycle. Each phase or mesocycle should logically build into the next one and potentiate adaptations that can be made in future blocks.
