Speaking of plateaus, I just got booted in the ass by one today. I've been doing squats and increasing my weights by about 5% each workout for about the last 6 weeks. I went on vacation two weeks ago and just got back to the gym this week.
Monday was great, so I increased my weight on Wednesday but finished maxed out one rep short. Then today I get 4/5 through my second set and lose it completely. I'm looking in the mirror as I'm trying to push up and see one of the trainers start sprinting over, but he didn't make it in time. I knew I was going down, so I just launched the weights backwards off my shoulders and then went to the ground. Cut up my hand pretty good, but it could've been a lot worse.
