5 Tips to Defeating Your Training Plateaus - Episode Six Seven
About this episode
5 Tips to Defeating Your Training Plateaus Episode 67. We're officially washed. The Uncs are still here though, still recording late into the night because that's just what we do.
This week we're breaking down five ways to beat a training plateau — whether you've stalled on your lifts, your cardio, or both. And the honest truth is most of these points keep circling back to one thing: you can't manage what you don't measure. If you're not tracking, you're guessing. And guessing is how people spend years spinning their wheels wondering why nothing's moving.
We get into:
- Managing intensity relative to your actual goal — not just how hard it feels, but how hard you're actually pushing
- Matching recovery to your effort — and why more days in the gym isn't always the answer
- Why being data-driven isn't optional if you want to stop plateauing
- Fueling your body relative to where you're trying to go
- The outside stuff that drains your battery — work, relationships, life in general — and why ignoring it will catch up with you
We also dropped some news — big production-level interviews are coming. We can't give you dates yet but trust us, we're locked in. If you know someone we should be talking to, send that rec our way. And if you know somebody that can help us with a rebrand on the logo front, DM us or text one of us directly. Seriously.
One last thing — shoutout to our sponsor, PTU Biomechanics Course 1.0 from Jason Colley at Personal Trainer U. If you work with clients whose movement keeps breaking down no matter what you try, this course is the framework you've been missing. Nine modules built around the human skeleton, covering how structure drives hip mechanics, foot position, compensation patterns, overhead range — all of it connected.
