What does that even mean? Yes, if you continue to do a lift and keep progressing, you will, at some point, plateau. And that's okay. You can't keep going up and up forever. But it isn't the repetition that is causing a plateau. Improper training methods cause plateaus, as well as natural physical limitations.





what did you end up doing for your birthday, bud?
