How do understanding the body in training in terms of plateaus, do you go through them? What does your plateau look like to you and are you aware of others? how do you get through them instead of bowing into feeling like you’re not making progress?
Plateau wise, that can be specific movements - so smaller muscle groups plateau more often imo than the larger, compound movements
Then I tend to experience plateaus differently in free weights versus machines because as it depends how accurate the comparison in form is
When I do a deload (no training for 3-4 days) or devolume (training at 60-70% of the weight) but still go to the gym (where going to the gym is mentally important / preferred)
