This means you stay in your safe zone and only do things you're comfortable with. Often this means becoming a cardio king or queen, or simply using the same machines, with the same weights, month after month. In the beginning, this may have worked for you because you were new to the gym and experiencing what we call "newbie gains". Unfortunately these newbie gains are short term, and don't last. This is why the dreaded fat loss plateau is such a real thing for so many of you, and that's why I'm going to share the best approach on how to break through any fat loss plateau. Rather than looking at your workouts as one offs, start looking at your workouts in the macro. Periodization of training is about breaking down your overall goals, into smaller periods of focused training. These workout programs are usually divided into 6 week phases, or specific periods, that are meant to support, compliment, and build on each phase. By doing this, each 6 week workout program period or phase, builds on to the next 6 week period or phase of training. This is where periodization of training can help break through any fat loss plateau. How to break through any fat loss plateau via periodization of training: Phase 1 (Week 1-6) goal: Strength You may be thinking, why would John want to get stronger, if his goal is fat loss? Getting stronger is one of the best ways to break through any fat loss plateau. By getting stronger first, you prepare your body to be more efficient at building lean muscle. More lean muscle equals a higher metabolism and more calorie burn, thus helping you break through any fat loss plateau. Phase 2 (Week 6-12) goal: Muscle Building Since you completed the strength phase, you'll now be able to lift heavier weights, which means building more lean muscle, thus increasing his metabolism and fat burning potential. Phase 3 (Week 12-18) goal: Body Recomposition and Fat Loss Body recomposition simply means, burning stored body fat while maintaining lean muscle tissue. Often times people will follow extreme fat loss programs which also burn into lean muscle tissue. This ultimately ruins your metabolism, thus slowing fat burning. Phase 4 (ongoing) goal: Maintenance At this 18 week period, by following the workouts and staying consistent with your nutrition, you should be much closer to your ultimate goal. Now it's time to follow a maintenance program that incorporates all aspects of training, including strength, muscle building, and fat loss style workouts. No matter how consistent you are at going to the gym, if you workouts don't provide you with the plan to get the results you want, you're destined to hit a plateau.
