A period where a measurable training outcome stops improving despite continued practice.
Why Plateau matters
A plateau can signal the need to review technique, progression, recovery, nutrition or the measurement itself.
A practical example
A lift remains unchanged for several weeks even though attendance and technique are consistent.
Common mistake
Changing the entire programme after one difficult session.
Keep the context in mind.
Training and nutrition terms describe general principles. The right exercise, intensity or food target still depends on your experience, health, goals and schedule.
Personalised coaching
Apply the principle to your own training.
A definition is useful, but your programme still needs to match your experience, schedule, recovery and goals.
