After the last rep of a set, try and get one more and continue to push or pull against the bar for 20 seconds. On exercises like benches and squats be sure to have a spotter or use a power rack to keep from hurting yourself.

Use drop sets. Go to failure on one set of 8 to 10 reps than quickly take some weight off the bar and rep to failure again, trying to get 4 to 6 more reps

Do more work in less time. Start slowly decreasing your rest time between sets while working hard to keep your weights and reps the same.

Drink a post-workout shake. Here is a version of my favorite muscle building post-workout shake. 1 1/2 cups of Orange Juice 40 grams of whey protein isolate 1 serving Creatine 1 cup frozen fruit http://gregggillies.getprograde.com

Use progressive overload. If you're benching 150 for 10 reps now and a year from now you're still benching 150 for 10 reps you aren't going to build muscle.
