A great way to switch up your workout is with SUPERSETS! You can use them to work opposing muscle groups at the same time or you can use them to burn through your normal one body part a day muscle building routine to take your body well pass the point of failure.

Supersets will not only help you save time in the gym, but they are going to give you the ULTMATE PUMP while stretching opposing bodyparts in the same workout, like if you were to do back and chest on the same day.
