Podcasts about plateaus

Dr. Allan Bacon returns to break down one of the trickiest parts of health and fitness: fat loss plateaus.Allan blends evidence, coaching experience, and no-nonsense communication to clarify why plateaus happen, why most people misunderstand them, and what to actually do to overcome them.Allan and Andrew dive into:• How much of a plateau is physical vs. psychological• When a plateau becomes a socially acceptable narrative to quit• How to approach fat loss plateaus strategically• How often a plateau is really an adherence issue• The physiological factors working against you during a plateau• Why perceived restriction is such a major problem• Why your calorie needs are a moving target, not a fixed number• How much exercise actually contributes to calorie burn• Why cardio is a poor driver of fat loss, but a great driver of weight management• How many extra calories you really burn from adding muscle• Strategies to keep NEAT high when you're tired from training• And much moreIG: @drallanbaconCHAPTERS00:43 Understanding Plateaus - Physiological and Psychological Aspects02:06 Non-Scale Victories and Maintenance Phases05:20 The All or Nothing Mentality05:58 RP Strength and the RP Hypertrophy App07:24 New Year's Resolutions and Identity09:27 The 'I Don't Deserve It' Belief11:32 Dieting Seasons and Sustainable Eating15:09 Addressing Fat Loss Plateaus21:31 Calories In, Calories Out - The Debate32:01 Understanding Calorie Needs and Variability32:47 Setting Realistic Calorie Ranges for Fat Loss33:55 Weekly Calorie Averages and Potential Pitfalls37:23 Exercise and Calorie Burn - Myths and Realities39:28 The Role of NEAT in Fat Loss50:06 Building Sustainable Habits for Long-Term Success55:27 Practical Tips for Increasing Daily MovementSUPPORT THE SHOWIf this episode helped you, you can help me by:• Subscribing and checking out more episodes• Sharing it on your social media (tag me - I'll respond)• Sending it to a friend who needs thisFOLLOW ANDREW COATESInstagram: @andrewcoatesfitnesshttps://www.andrewcoatesfitness.comPARTNERS AND RESOURCESRP Strength App (use code COATESRP)https://www.rpstrength.com/coatesJust Bite Me Meals (use code ANDREWCOATESFITNESS for 10% off)https://justbitememeals.com/MacrosFirst - FREE PREMIUM TRIALDownload MacrosFirst and during setup you'll be asked “How did you hear about us?”Type in: ANDREWKNKG Bags (15% off)https://www.knkg.com/Andrew59676Versa Gripps (discount link)https://www.versagripps.com/andrewcoatesTRAINHEROIC - FREE 90-DAY TRIAL (2 steps)Go to https://www.trainheroic.com/liftfreeReply to the email you receive (or email trials@trainheroic.com) and let them know I sent you

If you're over 35 and stuck on a plateau, this episode explains exactly why your workouts aren't workingm and what to do instead.In today's episode, we break down the most common training mistakes people over 35 make, including high-volume group classes, overly “functional” programs, and beginner routines that are too complex to drive real progress. You'll learn why your training might be leaving you exhausted but not stronger, and how a simpler, smarter strength-focused approach can finally move the needle.We cover:• Why “Intensity is the prescription, volume is the dose” is essential after 35• How high-volume group workouts can destroy your progress (and recovery)• Why functional training often gets in the way of real results• Why complexity kills intensity — and what to do about it• Beginners: why you MUST get strong before chasing intensity• The real reason so many over-35 lifters feel stuck, stiff, and burned out• The simple, low-volume strength training approach that actually works• How to train in a way that boosts strength, improves body composition, and protects your jointsWhether you're doing bootcamps, CrossFit-style WODs, or “functional” circuits, this is essential listening if you're tired of working hard with nothing to show for it.Perfect for:Men and women over 35 • Anyone in a training plateau • Beginners returning to fitness • CrossFit and group class attendees • People confused about “functional” training • Anyone who wants simple, sustainable strengthFollow for more episodes on:Strength training, mobility, metabolic health, over-35 fitness, muscle building, sustainable fat loss, injury-free training, and performance longevity.

The Truth:Creative power is nebulous, making it hard to measure, but it is trained in the same way as physical strength.Your skill level as a producer is moving right now. The question is: which direction?Your skills are either growing or decaying---change is constant. Your development is a dynamic consequence of your decisions.Up close, progress may seem invisible. That's an illusion of perspective. Growth is happening even when you can't point to it in a given moment. The key is to trust that consistent, intentional work produces results---whether you feel them today or not.Creative Strength TrainingStrength---physical or creative---is your capacity to do it when you don't feel like it. It means doing what you said you were going to do. In the gym, that means showing up and doing your workout. In the studio, it means showing up consistently, working through doubt, and carrying ideas to completion.The version of you that goes to the gym will be stronger than the version that doesn't. How much stronger depends on: the consistency of your workouts (refer to Frequency) and the quality of design in alignment with your goals (see The Piñata Method). The same holds true in the studio---consistency and intentional practice generate creative power.The Session Doesn't Count. The Streak Does.What we can lift today versus a year from now has less to do with what we accomplish in one session and everything to do with how many sessions we are able to link together.This is easy to forget if we don't feel ourselves getting stronger moment to moment. From one day or week to the next you may find that you are lifting the same weight, maybe even a little less. There's a recency bias inherent in this natural desire for fast results. We can't remember what it felt like a year ago, but we recognize that compared to yesterday, I'm not lifting any more than I did. The key here is to zoom out. And the longer the recorded history, the more we are able to see. The more we show up on a daily basis, the more recorded history we have in the future. Temperature doesn't increase every single day, but overall the planet is warmer. As you execute your strength training program according to a schedule aligned with your goals you will notice that it grows in a similar way.Trust the PracticeWe cannot control the rate of growth, but growth is inevitable when we are committed to the plan. If someone were to tell you that they are going to the gym five days a week and are expecting to be stronger a year from now, you wouldn't question that assumption. How is creative strength any different?Embracing this is powerful because when we understand that growth is happening, we can commit ourselves to the underlying practice.“But What About...?”Talent. I love this idea from Jerry Seinfeld: talent is like being gifted a thoroughbred horse. It's fast and powerful, but you have to learn to ride it. Unapplied and untrained talent will atrophy over time. Talent is a gift. Training is a choice. Regardless of how much talent you perceive yourself to have or lack, developing skill is your decision.Decay. If we can grow, we can shrink. In the never-ending quest for growth and improvement, it is easy to take what we have for granted. But, what we have gained is not retained if not maintained. If you miss a day or two at the gym, you probably won't notice much of a change. But extend this to a week, a month, or even a year and it becomes obvious. The perspective of decline and deterioration is equally powerful in its reminder that our ability is not a static trait.Plateaus. The paradox of skill development: the more skilled you become, the harder it is to improve. That said, plateaus aren't dead ends, they are firm ground for forward motion. They are platforms to internalize what you learn until it becomes automatic, generating momentum to carry you to the next level. With accumulated experience, you can refine your goals and adjust how you train. The plateau isn't where growth stops---it's where your next climb begins.Making bad music. No matter how much your skill level grows, you're not immune to making bad music. The music we share is always our “best of.” The most direct path to making good music is to make music often. Most of what you make will be bad---that's not a problem, that's the process that leads to your best work.As you head to the studio, start tracking one simple metric: How many sessions can you link together? Experimenting, sketching, finishing---they all count. The decisions are within your control. The outcomes will reveal themselves over time. Nothing is static---especially when it feels like it is. Show up. You are getting stronger even when you can't feel it. Get full access to ProducerHead at producerhead.substack.com/subscribe

In this episode, Jeff Sarris and Jill Harris discuss the complexities of dietary advice for kidney stone prevention. They explore the confusion caused by varying expert opinions on diets, the importance of finding a personalized approach, and the necessity of moderation in dietary choices.

Every athlete—beginner, elite, or aging—eventually hits a frustrating plateau where progress stalls despite hard work. In this insightful episode, the team unpacks what a training plateau really is, how to distinguish it from overtraining or undertraining, and what physiological, psychological, and lifestyle factors may be contributing. From VO2 max goals to recovery metrics, the discussion touches on aging, hormones, training load, and the need for recovery or change. Whether you're pushing too hard, not hard enough, or simply stuck in the same routine, this episode offers science-based tools and personal experiences to help you break through your plateau.Key Takeaways:Plateaus are normal and can happen due to overreaching, lack of recovery, aging, or unvaried stimulus.Wearables like Garmin offer insights, but long-term test environments (like consistent routes or rides) provide more valid trend data.Training isn't linear. More effort doesn't always mean more progress.Critical Power and HRV are reliable performance and recovery indicators.Masters athletes must prioritize strength, rest, and periodization.Men vs. Women: Aging impacts men and women differently; strength training is critical for aging women.A well-structured off-season is often skipped but essential for long-term performance.Mental reframing and reflection are powerful tools for navigating plateaus.Paul Warloski - Endurance, Strength Training, YogaMarjaana Rakai - Tired Mom Runs - Where fitness meets motherhood.

GM Andy Soltis is a U.S. Chess Hall of Famer, prolific author, and longtime Chess Life columnist who has left a lasting mark on American chess while balancing a decades-long career as an editor at the New York Post. His recent memoir, Deadline Grandmaster, retraces those parallel paths and shares remarkable stories such as playing a 16-year-old Vishy Anand, meeting Mikhail Tal, corresponding with Irving Chernev, and unknowingly crossing paths with Bobby Fischer. In our conversation, Andy revisits several of these moments and reflects on the challenges of chess improvement. We explore why players plateau, how to identify their own chess styles, and what today's players can learn from history's greats. Toward the end, Andy mulls his next project and discusses how chess publishing has evolved through the decades. It's always a privilege to hear Andy's stories, and I highly recommend Deadline Grandmaster for many more of them.  This episode was recorded on October 16, 2025  and thus does not discuss the tragic news of GM Daniel Naroditsky's passing.  0:00- Thanks to our sponsor, Chessable.com!

In a departure from his usual role as host, Steve Pockross—accomplished CEO and fractional Chief Growth Officer—takes the guest seat in this episode, with the insightful Suneet Bhatt stepping in as interviewer. This special conversation highlights Steve's frameworks and philosophy for instigating growth in the hyper-complex startup environment. Drawing from a wealth of executive experience, Steve elucidates the subtle art of diagnosing organizational stagnation, orchestrating strategic pivots, and cultivating a culture of continuous learning. As Steve reflects, “The real work of building a company comes from the 1000 micro interactions every single week.” With 1000s of customer and interactions, how do you iterate your way toward the North Star of growth - and still make it feel like this ongoing hard work has the drama of pivots? This episode is essential listening for founders, operators, and investors seeking not just growth, but enduring transformation.About SteveSteve Pockross is a seasoned CEO and fractional Chief Growth Officer renowned for guiding founders and leadership teams through the ambiguous, high-stakes moments that follow early startup success. His unique expertise lies in diagnosing the root causes of stalled growth—whether in sales, marketing, leadership, or product-market fit—and crafting practical, actionable strategies that drive real results. Steve's approach is both analytical and empathetic: he excels at building cultures of trust, aligning teams around a clear North Star, and breaks down complex challenges into manageable footholds. He is especially effective with founders who are “stuck” after initial traction, ambitious to scale, and open to transformative change. Steve's ideal clients are growth-stage startups or founder-led companies seeking a trusted advisor to help them prioritize, pivot, and unlock their next phase of sustainable growth. www.practicalpivots.co

Break Plateaus Fast: The 15-Second Finisher That Supercharges Double-Tap Training (Beautiful Strength Podcast)If your muscle gains feel stuck, you don't need more sets—you need more stimulus per minute. In this episode I show you how to bolt a 10–15s isometric finisher onto your second Double-Tap set to push work capacity higher without bloating your workouts. You'll learn where to hold, how to breathe, and how to lower safely so you finish smoked—not sloppy.Then we jump into Q&A on escaping the high-volume trap, building legs without pistol squats, whether micro-workouts need rest days, thoughts on mouth taping for sleep, daily dead hangs, and when tech and gadgets help (or mostly distract). As always, it's results-by-design: maximum return, minimum fluff.What you'll learn • The exact way to add an isometric finisher to your last set • Why “harder” ≠ “better,” but focused always beats more • How Double-Tap (2 work sets) builds muscle efficiently • Technique cues: tension, scapular position, range, and safe exits • Smarter finishers for dips/push-ups when you lack equipment • How to set goals around objectives (tension & work capacity), not vanity metricsResources & mentions • Beautiful Strength — Calisthenics to look & feel your best https://is.gd/0cqffB • Double-Tap Training — 2 hard sets, high stimulus, low bloat https://youtube.com/live/JdxfqPBMmZE • Isometric playlists & ISO Max programming ideas on the channel https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLSRvpXw9nm3q0C3AteMU0s_0Rd2DGH_jaBe fit, live free.

Episode #226 We've all been there — things are going great, the scale is moving, fasting feels easy… and then suddenly, everything stops. In this episode, Coaches Terri and Heather open up an honest conversation about plateaus: what causes them, why they're normal, and how to move through them without losing your motivation. From dialing up your fasting rhythm to rethinking “healthy” foods that might be slowing your progress, this chat dives into the real-life adjustments that make a difference. They also explore how stress, sleep, and lifestyle habits play a bigger role than we often realize — and how to find balance again when things stall.

In this month's Q&A episode, Kristina dives into the questions she hears most often from women working hard on their health and fitness but feeling stuck in the process. She unpacks why eating “healthy” isn't always the same as eating for your goals and what to look for if the scale refuses to move. She shares why protein is such a game-changer, how much you really need, and practical ways to hit your goal without eating chicken every meal. Kristina also tackles the challenge of enjoying weekends, vacations, and date nights without losing progress by showing you how balance, not perfection, is what truly drives results.The conversation then shifts to macros and how to use tracking as a tool rather than a rule, giving you awareness without obsession. For busy seasons of life, Kristina breaks down the power of non-negotiables and why doing “something” will always move you forward more than aiming for perfect consistency. And finally, she discusses cravings, emotional eating, and sweets, offering strategies to handle them without guilt while building more freedom and balance into your nutrition. If you're looking for clarity, practical tools, and a reminder that consistency is built on simple habits, this episode is one you don't want to miss.WATCH ON YOUTUBE:https://www.youtube.com/@kristinaturnure/podcastsBALANCED BLUEPRINT MEMBERSHIP:⁠https://builtgroupcoaching.my.canva.site/⁠BUILT AND BALANCED VIP COACHING:⁠⁠⁠Https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScV_IGO2VhRV415iIsiHz6TGr76wuH-loG2eGt068pZG474qw/viewform⁠⁠BUILT & BALANCED NEWSLETTER:⁠⁠⁠https://builtandbalanced.kit.com/dd0f3197cc⁠⁠⁠LIFE REWIRED IG:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/LIFEREWIREDPODCAST/?utm_medium=copy_link⁠⁠KRIS IG:⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kristinaturnure/?hl=en⁠⁠NASH BARS:https://nashnutrition.co/PTULA: DISCOUNT CODE KRISTINAT ⁠https://www.ptula.com/⁠KOIA PROTEIN: CODE KRISTINAhttps://drinkkoia.com/KRISTINA

Every business owner eventually faces it: the dreaded plateau. Sales stop climbing, growth stalls, and suddenly you're left wondering what went wrong. In this episode of the Opt-In Podcast, Melissa Franks breaks down the truth about business plateaus and how to navigate them without panic or wasted effort.Melissa dives into the four core areas every entrepreneur should interrogate when growth has flatlined:Your Data – Why understanding metrics like customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, churn, and return on ad spend is essential for diagnosing issues.Your Sales Process – How inefficiencies, distractions, or broken funnels quietly kill conversion rates and what to do about it.Your Time – The surprising ways a founder's calendar can hold back growth (and how delegation and focus create momentum).Your Team – How misaligned priorities, poor culture, or lack of standard processes can drag down performance across the business.Melissa also shares a powerful analogy: think of business growth like a mountain range, not a roller coaster. Plateaus aren't failures, they're natural flat stretches where you regroup, stabilize, and prepare for the next climb.Whether you're currently in a plateau or preparing for the inevitable, this episode gives you the tools to diagnose, adjust, and reignite momentum.Connect with Melissa: Watch the Episodes on Youtube Instagram: instagram.com/melissa_franks Schedule a call: melissafranks.com

SUBSCRIBE TO OUR NEWSLETTER: https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rsWhat does it really take to peak, push through plateaus, and build a championship culture?Alex Ostberg returns to unpack the latest four installments of The Run Down, beginning with “The Science of a Taper,” where the guys explore how dialing back training at just the right moment allows fatigue to fade while fitness shines through, unlocking peak performance when it matters most.From there, they dive into “When the Magic Fades,” a candid look at the moment every athlete experiences when the spark of progress dims. Alex examines why this happens, what it reveals about adaptation, and how runners can stay grounded through the inevitable plateaus.The discussion then turns to “The Hierarchy of Endurance Needs.” Like a pyramid, Alex outlines how consistency and aerobic development form the base, while intensity, specificity, and tapering build upward—offering athletes a clear framework for long-term success.Finally, they tackle “The Hidden Behaviors Behind Championship Teams,” highlighting the unseen habits—accountability, unselfishness, and shared standards—that turn groups of athletes into cultures of excellence.Alex continues to blend science, mindset, structure, and team dynamics in a succinct way, giving readers a rich look at the forces that shape endurance performance.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review! I would also appreciate it if you share it with your friend who you think will benefit from it. Comment the word “PODCAST” below and I'll DM you a link to listen. If this episode blesses you, please share it with a friend!S H O W  N O T E S-The Run Down By The Running Effect (our new newsletter!): https://tinyurl.com/mr36s9rs-BUY MERCH BEFORE IT'S GONE: https://shop.therunningeffect.run-Our Website: https://therunningeffect.run -THE PODCAST ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UClLcLIDAqmJBTHeyWJx_wFQ-My Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/therunningeffect/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-Take our podcast survey: https://tinyurl.com/3ua62ffz

NM Max Farberov is a 27-year-old chess instructor, Chessable author, and online speed-chess specialist with a Chess.com blitz rating north of 2600. He joined me after a busy chess summer that included his first European open and one of his best OTB results to date: winning clear first in the Under-2300 section of the Washington International. As Max explains, this breakthrough came only after months of frustration and feeling that he had reached a plateau, making the success all the sweeter. In our conversation, Max and I discussed: Why he stays motivated to pursue tournament chess at an age when many slow down How he built an opening repertoire around the offbeat 1…d6 What he gains from following lesser-known professional tournaments Why speed chess is underrated as a tool for improvement Max's passion for chess is infectious, and our conversation is full of helpful chess improvement advice.

This listener Q&A episode tackles the most common intermittent fasting challenges with practical, science-backed solutions. Dr. Scott and Tommy address Nick's testosterone concerns on low-carb diets, explaining how early-day carb timing with circadian rhythm optimization can maintain hormone levels while supporting fasting goals. Learn why combining morning carbohydrates with evening protein creates the ideal metabolic environment for both performance and fat burning. Discover solutions for Carrie's post-workout hunger struggles, including why strength training increases ghrelin and depletes glycogen stores, making fasted training more challenging but ultimately more effective with proper timing and hydration strategies. The hosts dive deep into plateau-busting tactics for OMAD practitioners, explaining why Jean Marie's 3-pound fluctuations are normal and how to break through stalls by varying meal timing, prioritizing non-scale victories, and understanding that metabolic changes occur beneath the surface even when the scale doesn't move. Address common snacking temptations during extended fasts, with Gary's nut-snacking dilemma at the 24-hour mark - learn why this happens during the glycogen-to-ketosis transition and practical replacement strategies. Get insights on keeping "trigger foods" out of the house, using the "who are these for?" technique, and creating habit replacements instead of habit voids. This episode provides real-world solutions for the most frustrating aspects of intermittent fasting, helping you troubleshoot common obstacles while maintaining long-term success with your fasting lifestyle. ⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Years ago I was working on what would turn out to be my longest-ever project, Swingline, the first 13d I'd ever tried. I had spent parts of several seasons on it, my fitness was at an all-time high, and I had done all of the obvious links. But I couldn't break through. The only thing left to do was send, but it just wasn't happening. I wasn't being honest. I was telling myself a story – like we all do – and that story is often false.  So I finally asked myself the question...   Read the rest on the blog!

Your child says, “I want to quit.” Soccer. Piano. Swimming. Art. Should you let them? There’s a magic confidence threshold in every skill - and most kids give up just before they reach it. In this episode, Dr Justin and Kylie Coulson unpack why kids quit, the role of motivation and relationships, and how to help them push through frustration without forcing them into misery. You’ll learn how to balance empathy with encouragement so your child develops grit, resilience, and the joy of mastery. KEY POINTS Every skill has a “confidence threshold” — the point where hard work starts to feel rewarding. Kids often want to quit in the “valley” before reaching this threshold. Motivation matters: autonomy and relationships increase persistence. Plateaus in progress are normal and often occur right before breakthroughs. Distress tolerance is a life skill - avoiding discomfort robs kids of resilience-building experiences. Angela Duckworth’s “Don’t quit on a hard day” rule helps kids make decisions in a calm emotional state. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “When we rescue kids from every struggle, we rob them of the chance to discover they’re more resilient than they think.” – Dr Justin Coulson RESOURCES MENTIONED Angela Duckworth’s research on grit The Dunedin Study Dr Justin Coulson’s “Anti-Fragile” resilience keynotes ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Check the motivation – Was this activity your child’s choice or yours? Aim for the threshold – Encourage them to reach basic competence before deciding to quit. Build social connections – Support involvement where friendships are part of the activity. Talk about plateaus – Normalise slow progress and help them see it’s temporary. Adopt the “hard day” rule – No quitting right after a loss or tough session. Sit with discomfort – Model staying calm and present when challenges arise. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
