In a word, “CHANGE” !!! …hitting a wall (or not seeing any progress) can occur for a variety of reasons. Hitting a wall (or a plateau) in our routine is actually a good thing. It’s your body telling you it needs something whether it be rest due to overtraining, more food due to not eating enough, or a change in our exercise program. You must always challenge and surprise your body. The reason your body hits a plateau in the first place is because it has gotten used to the same old routine!

So change is good after all!!

To add to Debbie’s response: anticipate the wall or plateau ahead!! Plan for it; have your plan B, C, and D ready to get you over the hump so that you might actually avoid hitting the wall in the first place:)

Periodization! you should be planning different phases ahead of time. I prefer to plan out 3 month macrocycles with 1 month mesocycles and 1 week microcycles. This prevents boredom and keeps the body adapting.

Agree with the above. The wall WILL come and we must always be ready to address it. CHANGE from what you WERE doing!!!!
