Hitting a "plateau" in training?

Post by Kangaroo » May 24th, 2008, 8:03 am

Is it true that if you do a certain workout repeatedly (say a constant pace 60min erg) that you will eventually hit a plateau in your training? Ie: you train and see see improvements for a while and then hit a spot where your performance just stays constant with no improvement, or even starts to get less

One thing that I have definately seen in my training, is the benefit of incorporating different workouts, both mentally and physically..
Get RowPro and row online with us, Monday-Thursday 7:30PM EST. We change it up all the time.

Changing it up as in different lengths of the session? Or like pyramids for example during the row?
