There is a process of adaptation that takes place when you enter into a new way of training. The body and the mind must adapt.
Body: Muscles, tendons, ligaments, bones, and the CNS.
Mind: Your mental outlook, mental fortitude, comfort under heavy load/high volume and comfort with increased intensity.
Based on my on personal experience and the observed experience of my athletes, the process generally does not happen within six months - in fact it usually takes a minimum of one year...
Some excellent insight from coach Winchester. The biggest source of plateau's is ego. Checking the ego at the door and gaining true focus on your goal for the day, week, month, year, 5 years will change your view of what needs to be accomplished and how. Listen to your coach, stick to your program, put your head down and train.
