What do you do if your Functional Training progress stalls due to lack of analytical skills?

I would also assess what the goals are. Are they realistic? Are they within the parameters of what functional training addresses?

By properly breaking through a functional training plateau, it is best to properly begin with a candid Self- Assessment to make sure to identify any form of workout that may be contributing to my goals effectively. This Could eventually lead to any form of muscle imbalance that could eventually reduce overall functionality over time.

Setting Clear Goals that are Specific, measurable, attainable , realistic, and timely . This will eventually lead to a proper aim to improve overall strength to set a goal of increasing your Romanian Deadlift by 10% in a Total of 8 weeks.

If you want to know if there has been growth and the rate of growth, tracking progress in essential. You need a starting point. Keep track of the exercises, progressions made, sets, reps, weights, rests, etc. It is also a great idea to keep track of how you are feeling after a workout. How challenging was the workout? Are there any reason why a workout may have not gone as well as you would have liked (poor sleep, poor nutrition etc?) Having this data gives you the proper information to determine how far you have come. It also helps determine what changes need to made to make progress. Maybe an exercise is no longer serving you. Maybe something needs to be modified to suit your goals better.

Lembre-se que o atleta não é uma máquina e portanto nenhum programa de treinamento pode ser exato. Pensamentos, emoções e crenças alteram diretamente a fisiologia e são determinantes para qualquer nível de performance. O nome desta matéria é Psicofisiologia, uma área da Neurociência que não é ensinada nas Faculdades de Educação Física e pontanto, é quase sempre ignorada nos programas de treinamento do atleta. Portanto, o melhor programa do mundo pode ter resultados medíocres diante de um Mindset Fixo ou simplesmente quando o atleta expõe o ser humano por trás da "máquina".

And also be flexible. Always bearing in mind that generally if you are consistent and accountable, you also need to have a little flexibility.

If you find yourself struggling to make progress or figure out your next move, seek feedback. Seek feedback from an experienced fitness professional or peer. Sometimes all it takes is a different perspective to get you back on track and making progress. These perspectives can provide valuable insights to factors such as form, programming, nutrition, recovery, mindset, etc. Make sure you are open to feedback and will consider the advice you receive. With the right combination of your analysis and others feedback you can have major breakthroughs resulting in the progress you want.

A estagnação do progresso de um programa de treinamento em si já é o melhor recurso de avaliação e feedback que um treinador pode ter sobre a eficácia do seu programa. Afinal já dizia Eistein: "A definição de insanidade é desejar resultados diferentes fazendo sempre as mesmas coisas."

I always tell clients that if an exercise hurts, even when using proper technique, they should stop immediately. There is always another exercise option that can be more effective and comfortable for their bodies.
