Are You Ready for a Change?

Hello FitFam!

How are you? To help you in your fitness journey, I wanted to discuss a common roadblock - the workout plateau.

Imagine you've been consistently training hard and following a nutritious meal plan, but suddenly your results grind to a halt despite your efforts.?

This lack of progress can be incredibly demoralizing.?

However, it's likely not due to a lack of hard work on your part, but simply the principle of accommodation. The human body has an incredible capacity to adapt when strategically stressed through progressive overload. The workout that initially left you sore and struggling now feels automatic.

When you hit this plateau, it's a signal that it's time to apply a strategic overload. This could mean increasing weight loads gradually by 1-5% per week, adding more volume with extra sets or reps, or switching up your training split entirely. You could even try an entirely new workout style like HIIT, circuit training, or powerlifting.

Take plateaus as signs you're ready for the next challenge, not a reason to become discouraged. Approach your training with a mindset of constantly evolving! After pushing hard, taking a full recovery week will allow your body to recuperate before ramping back up. This prevents injury and burnout.?

I'm happy to provide personalized suggestions for busting through any plateaus you may be facing. Just let me know during your next session. Keep chasing those goals!

To your strength and growth,
