If you have spent a long enough time in the gym you have undoubtedly hit a point in which you are not experiencing the strength gains or weight loss you desire. This is known as a plateau and can be very frustrating. Below I have a few tips that will help you break through your plateau:
- Try different exercises that target similar muscle groups as your old exercises
- Hire a personal trainer
- Increase the load
- Increase the repetitions
- Increase intensity (less rest between sets)
- Utilize resistance bands
- Utilize heavy marine chains
- Take a week off from weightlifting/running to let body recover
One of the above suggestions should do the trick and you will begin to see positive results again.

Justin--what are "marine chains"? We don't ever use anything like that in bootcamp do we?
