Overcoming Weightlifting Plateaus

Putting on 10 pounds of lean muscle in the last year, your muscle building program has been incredibly successful. More confident and assertive, you are generating much more attention these days on campus and in the gym, especially from hot women.

Problem: Muscle-Building Plateau

Although building muscle is great, you are no longer satisfied. You want to be bigger, leaner, more cut, almost appearing as if you were carved out of solid granite- just like the guys in the fitness and muscle-building and fitness magazines. You have come a long way but have much further to go, and frustratingly your recent progress has come to a screeching halt; muscle and strength gains have reached a plateau. In spite of your best efforts to push through this roadblock, it seems you are just spinning your wheels…

Your Body Resists

The above scenario is all too familiar with aspiring bodybuilders, and athletes. It takes years to build an amazing physique, and your body can (and most likely will) resist you every step of the way.

Although we live in modern times, the human body has most likely not changed much since we were living in caves. At that time, food sources were scarce. Putting on and keeping large amounts of metabolically costly muscle tissue would have been a liability. Cavemen with a ton of muscle mass and low body fat would not survive.

As a result, must of our shredded ancestors were weeded out of the gene pool, and those who could readily shed muscle mass and gain fat survived to become our ancient relatives. The result of all of this is that most of us can make great gains in muscle mass only for short periods of time before reaching a plateau. How do we get past plateaus? Adding calories simply makes you fat and increasing training volume leaves you over-trained.

Solution: Advanced Supplements

The solution is supplementation. With the right supplements and in the right combinations, we can break through training plateaus and reach all of our goals.
