Most stalled progress is not an effort problem. It is a recovery problem wearing an effort problem's clothing.
People arrive convinced they need to train harder. Frequently the schedule shows the opposite: six demanding sessions, five nights of short sleep, and no easy days anywhere.
Recovery has to be scheduled with the same seriousness as training. That means a defined easy day, a defined sleep window, and a deload rhythm that arrives before you are desperate for it.
The simplest audit is honest: how many nights this week did you get the sleep you actually need? For most people the answer explains the plateau without any further investigation.
Breathwork, walking, mobility and unstructured rest are not filler. They are what allows the hard work to become adaptation instead of accumulation.
