I usually like going to these events, I mean who doesn’t want to go to a function where you hardly know anyone and sit in a corner by yourself, while you use wheat thins to slowly shovel brie cheese covered in maple syrup and nuts one mouthful at a time, justifying each bite is okay because you have grapes on your plate. Sounds like a good Saturday night if you ask me......

Today is a must read episode Endure: Mind, Body and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance by Alex Hutchinson. Hutchinson tries to tackle this complex question, why is it that more people don’t die doing exercise
info_outlineI started hitting the gym back in September 2017, I was very weak back then so I started with 30 lbs overhead press and now have made very little progress, that is after 11 months I've reached 80 lbs now and the progress seems to have halted . What should I do? M 19 Started at 140 lbs now after 11 months am 150 lbs Height - 175 cm
I think most people can relate to this in some way, where you start exercising and you feel week at first, but you stay relatively consistent, then over time you get stronger and stronger, but eventually you get to a point where you stop making progress or hit what I would call a plateau. The real question this person is asking is, What do I do when I plateau? In this case it’s about the shoulder press, but the same principles always apply regardless of the specific exercise you’re doing.
