Optimization For Athletes is written by an athlete, for an athlete.
This revolutionary training method has been embraced by elite runners—with extraordinary results—and now you can do it, too.
In today’s Quick Tip Tuesday video, I share 2 techniques for breaking through a performance plateau.
This video will cover how to continue making progress after reaching a maximal strength plateau.
Marathon running training . . . it’s a grind! Whether you’re about to run your first or tenth marathon, you’re probably looking at a 16+ week training plan! In this post, we break that plan into 3 phases, guaranteed to keep it fun, interesting and effective all the way through the finish line!
Plateaus are tough mothers. They happen for a few reasons, but a big one is that the human body really doesn’t like to go outside of its’ safe little shell. The brain also doesn’t like to move outside of its’ cave.
Record-breaking has slowed, but science could find new ways to make us keep getting stronger and faster.
Plateauing happens to athletes at all levels. It’s good for training regimens to become a way of life, but doing those sessions over and over again can become like mindlessly checking a box. Inputs remain the same–which can be detrimental to increasing performance outputs.
Plateaus – aka periods of little to no progress – are inevitable in the sport of weightlifting.
Let me ask you a question. Have you ever hit a plateau in the weight room when it comes to increasing strength? What about when it comes to increasing power output (vertical jump, short-distance sprint)? Well if you have, you are not alone.
