You're just not making the progress you were hoping. If your nutrition is clean, it may be your workout.
7 Reasons You May Be Getting So So Results
1. Your progressive overload is so so. That is, you keep lifting the same amount of weight. Lift MORE.
2. Your rest and recovery is so so. You love working out and have the mistaken idea that more is better. It's not. If you don't give yourself solid rest days, your body will never have the time it needs to repair and grow properly.
3. Your consistency is so so. You went 5 days last week, 1 day this week, this after 2 weeks of not going. Great that you're going at all, but you have to *keep* going, regularly to push ahead of "even".
4. Your fitness nutrition is so so. You may be eating good foods, but are you eating enough? Pre and post workout?
5. Your focus is so so. You get to your workout but half of it you can't remember getting through, or you raced through to finish. You should be focusing on the muscles you're using to work them well.
6. Your intensity is so so. Don't just hit "10 reps" and stop. If you can eek out a few more, even with a quick rest, DO. The growth is in the push.
7. Your workout plan is so so. Make sure you're doing the right strategy for you goal. There are body splits that work better than others, and classes and running strategies that suit different goals.
Fix these and so so won't exist.
