Overcoming Strength Training plateaus

Your Body is Intelligent

Why does your body get stronger when you work out with weights?
The short answer is that your body is intelligent and there are times
when gaining strength is the most logical thing for your muscles to do.
Unfortunately, your body doesn’t always think that it is logical to gain
strength when you work out with weights. Gaining strength must
provide some type of benefit to your body, or your body won’t think it is
logical to gain strength. If you have reached a strength training plateau,
and you are not getting stronger from your workouts, the reason is
because your body does not see any benefit to gaining strength with
the training conditions you are providing for it.
