Scenаriо: Mаrgаret gоes tо the IM Building 2x per week to perform strength training exercises. She performs a total body routine consisting of 12 different exercises. Margaret performs 2 sets of 12-15 reps at about 60-70% of her 1-RM. She initially was seeing some nice results with her routine, but lately, she has hit a plateau.
