When progress stalls — do you simplify everything or keep tweaking?
Quick question for anyone stuck on a plateau: when nothing seems to change, do you try to simplify decisions (same simple meals, two reliable workouts, fixed sleep time) to regain consistency — or do you prefer making small technical tweaks (rep ranges, carb timing, a deload)? Share one simplification or one tweak that actually moved the needle for you.

Rule of thumb: if consistency/energy/adherence has slipped, simplify first to restore the basics; if you’re already consistent (~regular workouts, sleep, protein/calories) and still stalled, use small technical tweaks. Practical examples: - Simplify: 2–3 compound workouts/week, three simple meals hitting a protein target, fixed wake/sleep time for 2–4 weeks to remove decision fatigue. - Tweak: one planned deload week, reduce/increase weekly volume by ~10–20%, change rep ranges (e.g., 6–8 → 10–12) or shift carbs around workouts. Track one metric (weight, training volume, sleep) for 2–4 weeks to judge impact.
