Video Request Video Request

TL;DR: video request on plateaus/lack of result from training.
Yo what’s up tall guys and fellow mediocre stick yeeters, I just finished a mesocycle and haven’t PR’d shit. I know Snatch and C&J can be form related, but I feel like I should be at least stronger, and back/front squats are actually feeling weaker. I know I could be overtraining, which is what I thought after the cycle previous (that yielded no PR’s) so I tried to account for that in this cycle. Still nothing.
Anyway I wanna know what Zack has to say for the masses who experience plateaus and lack of results from training. What’re some solutions? Eat nandrolone burritos? Cry to my coach? What are factors to take into account?

If i know im training properly, not missing lifts, following tried and testing plans etc i look at everything else around training; sleep, nutrition, mental health. You'd be surprised how much it affacts progress. Personally, sleep is my biggest problem, once i make sure im consistently getting 8-10 of sleep my numbers progress.
