    What is the best choice to make after hitting a plateau?

    So what's the best choice to make when hitting a plateau?

    Changing the exercises, increasing the weights or completing more reps? Looking to maximize results (I know this thread wont come in handy for a few months for me but just wanting to know ahead of time)

    Figured doing all 3 changes is probably the best way to maximize results but I don't know much so wondering if any experts or well trained guys who can give me a detailed explanation on what to do so that way it makes sense to me. thenks team

    Best strategy post plateau is to change your workout plans , introduce different exercises , shuffle your training days and increase the weights and try creatine if you already haven't.

    I agree with Psy - you have to change up exercises since your body gets use them.
    Also i noticed when i started training for "strength" I started seeing major results

    I highly recommend grabbing the book by Tom Venuto called Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle. - very good advice on there regarding plateaus.

    Cut Back on Carbs
    Research has confirmed that low-carb diets are extremely effective for weight loss.

    In fact, one large review of 13 studies with follow-up lasting at least a year found that people who consumed 50 or fewer grams of carbs per day lost more weight than those following traditional weight loss diets (1).

    Reducing your carb intake may help get your weight moving in the right direction again when you feel hopelessly stalled.

    Whether carb restriction leads to a "metabolic advantage" that causes your body to burn more calories is a question that continues to be debated among nutrition and obesity experts.

    Some controlled studies have found that very low-carb diets increase fat burning and promote other metabolic changes that favor weight loss, while other studies haven't shown this effect (2, 3, 4, 5).

    However, very low-carb diets have consistently been shown to reduce hunger and promote feelings of fullness more than other diets. In addition, they cause your body to produce ketones, which have been shown to reduce appetite (6, 7, 8).

    This may lead you to unconsciously eat less, making it easier to begin losing weight again without hunger or discomfort.
