What is a training plateau anyway?

A training plateau is equivalent to the temporary death of your fitness results 

Which equals something that you want to avoid, more then your ex!

If you have never hit a plateau then consider yourself one lucky son of a you know what! 

And...

The worse part about hitting a plateau is that it could be due to so many different reasons that it tends to leave most people more confused then ever 

It could be the fact that your training too much...

It could be that your not changing up your workouts enough...

but you don't really care how it happens right?

what you really care about is 

how to get out of it if your in it 

or...


how to avoid it if you've never encountered it

so here are my top 3 PROVEN WAYS TO AVOID PLATEAUS


#1... TAKE A PLANNED WEEK (OR A FEW DAYS) OFF!

now this rule applies more for those people that are in the gym going hard day in and day out

your stalemate is most likely your body telling you that it's time for a much needed rest

most people believe that you build muscle when your working out but it's actually the exact opposite

when your working out your body actually breaks down muscle tissue

it's only when your resting and refueling that your body builds up new muscle tissue 

what I actually do is a 12 week split

I workout for 11 weeks straight and then take a week off to rest 

and I always come back stronger after the week off

so... I give you permission to rest!


#2... CHANGE UP THAT BORING TRAINING ROUTINE

as i like to say... "if you wanna to see a change you have to change something!

the human body is a very smart creation!

and it will quickly get used to what your doing

so maybe after a few weeks you change the order of your exercises

maybe you change the amount of reps you do per exercise 

or 

change the amount of weight you lift per set

without really working with you I cant really tell you which change is going to be best for you but what i can tell you is this

"if you keep doing the same things you'll keep getting the same results"!

and now for #3...


... REVAMP YOUR DIET!

for a lot of people that I've worked with that have battled the training plateau 

I've had great success by just modifying there caloric intake

sometime your just not providing you body with enough nutrients for your body to do what you want it to do

So the moral of the story is 

A)... Take some time off... Over training is never a good thing 

B)... Change up that routine... If you wanna see a change you have to change something 

And 
​
C)... Change up that diet... Don't skimp on your nutrients, YOUR BODY NEEDS FUEL!
