Most people think a plateau means something’s wrong — that their training, effort, or motivation isn’t enough.
But the truth is simpler: a plateau is feedback. It’s the moment your body adapts so well to your current environment that progress slows down.

In this episode, we break down:
• why progress stalls even when you’re doing “everything right”
• the difference between feedback and feelings
• how the laws of specificity and accommodation affect long-term growth
• why the conjugate method is built to keep adaptation alive
• the mental traps that turn training into performance theater
• how intent — not hype — drives real, sustainable capability
• the Agoge 3-step method for breaking through any plateau: Assess → Adjust → Reinforce

You’ll also hear a real coaching moment from inside Agoge Performance: how stripping away hype helped an athlete find control, confidence, and strength he didn’t know he had — hitting a lifetime PR double four weeks early.

Plateaus aren’t a dead end. They’re the signal to get sharper, not louder.

Train with intent.
Perform with purpose.
Live with balance.
