Plateau Buster
Want to overcome the nastiest of plateaus?
I developed Plateau Buster around a simple question.
“Hey AJAC, my XYZ muscle group isn't growing as I want. What should I do?”
Your muscle group not growing the way you want is a common situation.
When you train long enough, you eventually learn that not all muscles in your body respond the same way to training.
Anyone who has dedicated themselves to building their physique knows you have “weak points.”
You have muscle groups that do not grow at the same rate. You have muscle groups that you struggle to form a mind-muscle connection with. This is normal.
Unless you are blessed with Olympia-level genetics, everyone has their stronger and weaker muscle groups.
The common ones are calves and forearms. But it could also be the glutes, lats, or shoulders. The point is that everyone has that one muscle group that is slow to grow, underdeveloped, and lags behind all your other muscles.
What do you when you plateau?
You'll be given different strategies depending on who you are talking to.
“Bomb the muscle with insane volume.”
“Revise your exercise selection and choose only the most effective movements.”
“Focus on neuromuscular innervation and increase the mind-muscle connection.”
“Get ‘weird’ with your exercises and experiment.”
“Train the muscle every day or every workout.”
“Stop focusing on the muscle, and give it a break (counterintuitive, but it sometimes works).”
Seems contradictory, right?
You are being told to use high volume by one person and then to NOT train a muscle by someone else. However, if you parse the training literature and exercise science, a cohesive picture emerges.
