212. Plateau or Just a Bad Week? 3 Signs to Watch For
Manage episode 477583978 series 3383058
In this episode of Help Me Understand, JK shares info and perspective on one of the most common (and frustrating) parts of any fitness journey...hitting training plateaus.
Whether you're chasing strength gains, aesthetic goals, or just trying to stay consistent, everyone eventually hits a wall. But how do you know it’s actually a plateau, and not just a bad week?
Listen in as JK breaks it down into three key indicators: stalled performance, loss of motivation, and changes (or lack thereof) in recovery and body composition.
This episode is a reminder that plateaus are normal, but they don’t have to be permanent.
You'll hear practical strategies to recognize when your training might be stuck and how to make the right adjustments without burning out.
JK also touches on the importance of tools like the double progression model, checking in with your coach, and staying honest about how your workouts actually feel.
