The No-Plateau Workout
Use the "one-half plus one" method to get stronger every week by PJ Striet

The trick to building muscle over the long haul—for years, not just weeks or months—is checking your ego. Make gradual but steady increases, working with weights that are challenging but not so heavy they make your eyes bug out.
That's what this workout is all about. We call it the "one-half plus-one" method. It's a practical, systematic approach that will yield big strength gains on the four best muscle-building exercises—the bench press, deadlift, shoulder press, and squat. Write your max lifts down today and be prepared for jaw-dropping results within two months (and every month, year, and even decade thereafter).
Directions
Frequency: Do Workouts 1, 2, and 3 in the same week, resting at least a day between sessions. The next week, begin with Workout 4 and repeat the cycle.
Time Needed: 40 min.
How To Do It: Follow this plan for the first lift of each workout.
Week 1: Find your 12-rep max (the most weight you can lift 12 times). Perform four sets of seven reps.
Week 2: Add 6% to the load you used in Week 1 (this is your 10-rep max, roughly). Do four sets of six reps.
Week 3: Add 6% to the load you used in Week 2 (eight-rep max). Do four sets of five.
Week 4: Add 6% to the load you used in Week 3 (six-rep max). Do four sets of four.
Week 5: Repeat, beginning at Week 1, but add weight to your 12-rep max (five pounds for the bench and shoulder press and 10 for the deadlift and squat).
Rest about two minutes between sets. On the fourth set, attempt to do more reps than the prescribed number, but don't go to failure.
Perform the paired exercises (marked "a" and "b") in sequence. So you'll do one set of the first exercise, rest, and then one set of the next exercise, and rest again before repeating. Continue for all the prescribed sets. Perform the last exercise of each workout as straight sets.
It was just a few years ago that marketers of the Merchant Cash Advance funding product touted that credit score had no effect on an approval. "No Credit or Bad Credit is Not a Problem!" was the slogan that proved to be a costly misstep for both the small business owners and funding providers. Previous recipients of this product and first time applicants alike, are finding that obtaining a Merchant Cash Advance just became a little bit more like going to the bank. http://ezinearticles.com/?The-Implications-of-Credit-Score-in-a-Merchant-Cash-Advan
