Hitting a plateau in your fitness journey can be frustrating. You're putting in the work, but suddenly, your progress grinds to a halt.

Understanding Gym Plateaus
A gym plateau occurs when you no longer see progress from your workouts, which can be in terms of strength, endurance, or muscle growth. This typically happens because your body has adapted to the repetitive stress of your current workout routine.
Common Signs of a Plateau
- Your strength gains have stalled.
- You’re not losing any more weight despite regular workouts.
- You feel unusually fatigued instead of energized post-workout.
- Improvement in performance metrics (like speed or power) has stopped.
