Summary
DM "GET UNSTUCK" to us on @Colossusfit to break out of your plateau and see faster, better results!
In today's MUST LISTEN episode we give you six tricks to help you break through a progress plateau no matter what.
Most plateaus fall into 3 categories:
-Stool of fitness
- Mindset plateau
- Training plateau
- Nutrition plateau
Is your plateau cased because of one or all three?
6 Remedies:
Mindset remedy:
1- uncommon answer -Make your fitness a priority & improve consistency
-Everyone says eat less, do more abs, do keto, etc.
-don't be half in and half out, have the belief that you can do it, that you do deserve it,
-have goals to work towards
-stop making excuses. “I don't have time.” Get real about the journey.
-start to do the uncomfortable thing
2 - Another uncommon one- Be patient for a bit longer.
--
Nutritional:
3- Decrease intake
- Being more accurate (snacks, coffees, drinks)
- Cook more
start to improve accuracy
*some people think they need to change a bit of things but aren’t:
A) consistently logging, weighing, under logging, etc
B) just aren’t consistent with it- example of a deficit during week, surplus weekend then thinking calories need to be lowered
4- Lastly, diet breaks, carb refeeds, etc.
Training:
5. -New routine / better routine
- Lift heavier
- Set new goals
- Training partner/ trainer
6- Increase calorie expenditure
- Walk more
- Move more
- More volume
- More heavy compounds

| 0:00.0 | What's up everyone? Welcome to the fit, healthy, and most of all happy podcast. As always, I'm |
| 0:06.2 | your coach and host Josh here with his co-host and co-coach K-EG and I'm in the house. |
| 0:11.9 | Coming at you with a Thursday episode. I know it is that time of year where you are probably |
| 0:16.6 | either in one of two boats, you're either really fired up, you're getting after it, |
| 0:20.7 | you're seeing better results than ever, or you're in that fall grind, you know, you're two boats you're either really fired up you're getting after it you're seeing |
| 0:21.0 | better results than ever or you're in that fall grind you know you're busy you're kind of falling off a |
| 0:26.0 | little bit and you're not where you want to be so if you've had any kind of plateau you know you feel |
| 0:31.2 | like you're just sticking you can't break through it you've been trying and you're wondering why |
| 0:35.3 | you're not getting the results you want we're going to |
| 0:37.7 | jump into it in this episode and really give you some hacks and tips and actually remedies as we like |
| 0:43.3 | to call them to break through them so first and foremost the thing I really want to jump into is |
| 0:48.4 | I think there are three types of plateaus so like we always mentioned there's a stool of fitness |
| 0:54.0 | so you think of that three |
| 0:55.2 | legged stool. I haven't brought up my favorite analogy in a while. So think about it. Kyle's sitting on this stool. He's chilling there. He's having a good time. I don't know why he's just chilling on a stool, but he is. I come over and I kick off one of the legs. He's going to almost fall. He's going to surely be mad at me and he's gonna be like what the heck you know it's way harder for me to |
| 1:12.1 | be comfortable in the stool now that one of the legs is bent, it's rocking, it's horrible. I come and I kick off another leg. He's falling right on his butt. He's going nowhere and he's having no success. And fitness is very much like this. You know, I like to really kind of divide it into three areas. One is mindset. |
| 1:28.6 | So this covers a lot of things, but this is your attitude. This is your motivation. This is your |
| 1:34.3 | discipline. This is your planning. All these things are covered in our mindset. And this is a huge one. |
| 1:39.1 | And it's usually overlooked for the other two, which are training, which seems to be the one most |
| 1:43.5 | people love, as well as |
| 1:45.5 | nutrition. And usually when you're in a plateau, the first thing to kind of get blamed is your |
| 1:50.7 | training routine. Oh, my training routine sucks. I need something new. I think maybe I need to |
| 1:55.8 | switch it up to get some better results. I'm not gaining the muscle I want. The fat isn't coming off. |
