Plateaus are when you become "stuck" at lifting a certain weight for weeks and you can't seem to get past it. Here are a few ways to get through a plateau. - Take a week off. Give your body a chance to rest. - Cycle your training and change your exercises. - Work on the "weak link". i.e. Your triceps could limit your bench. - Shock the muscles. * Stripping (explained in other parts of the FAQ) * Negatives (explained in other parts of the FAQ) * 10 sets of 10 using a light weight. - Have your training partner put on the weights using a lot of 10-lbs and 5-lbs so you don't know what you're lifting just by glancing at the weights. It should be around your normal weight. It might be because of a mental block. http://www.faqs.org/faqs/misc-fitness/part1/
