The bodybuilding training pendulum seems to swing, every few years, from “power” training to “pump” training. For a few years, you’ll have the classical, Zane-like physiques winning top bodybuilding shows, and everyone in every gym in America will be training with isolation exercises, completing high-rep sets, and trying to “pump” their way to a symmetrical physique. Then, a few years later when most people have tired of the swimmer look, powerful physiques will return to the forefront of magazine covers and bodybuilding stages. Soon, you’ll have every kid in America squatting, benching, and dead lifting their way through 3-rep sets in attempts to be the biggest guy in the gym. Though the pendulum swings every few years, it appears we are certainly currently entrenched in a “power” phase, where the bigger man is considered better, and the better man wins, of course.

Nothing much can be accomplished by going into the gym, day after day, and doing 4 sets of 8 reps, and repeating it throughout 3 different exercises. It's almost as if you could do that in your sleep. And sleeping through workouts isn't a good idea. That's why smart bodybuilders devise plans to shake things up from time to time. Whether that means doing giant sets, super sets or another kind of intensity-boosting endeavor, shaking things up is the name of the game.

Walk into any gym in America and you'll see at least 2 or 3 people throwing weight around, rather than actually controlling whatever apparatus they happen to be using. This practice of using momentum as a means to build muscle is common, but very ineffective. What's more, it greatly decreases the ability of the lifter to build the kind of muscle he wants. He's literally throwing control away and leaving development to chance. This makes achieving an aesthetic physique, nearly impossible. For unless there is a genetic gift lying within a particular muscle group, utilizing momentum is always a mistake when attempting to build size.
