🤔 EP062 - If you’ve plateaued when it comes to your strength or muscle gains, what is the counter-intuitive mindset shift you MUST make before your next workout so that you don’t stay stuck in a perpetual plateau?

Whether it’s CrossFit, HIIT, or even standard strength training with The Big Three, progressive overload is a principle that unfortunately is often injected with steroids. As a result, I’ve seen it do more harm than good throughout my years as a Trainer.

But what if doing less, not more, is the answer to breaking through a plateau and promoting progress?
