Why 90% of Advanced Lifters Hit Plateaus

This week on the DDT Method podcast, Drew sits down with Kyle Baxter, a formally trained physiotherapist and biomechanics expert who's revolutionizing how advanced lifters approach training programming and movement quality.Kyle breaks down why most experienced lifters hit plateaus despite "doing everything right" and reveals his proven framework for sustainable hypertrophy programming that prioritizes movement quality over arbitrary program changes.EPISODE BREAKDOWN:Movement Quality Foundation Kyle explains his unique approach to building training programs that last 40+ weeks by establishing movement competency first, then layering in intensity and volume progression.The Dart Board Analogy Discover why accuracy in muscle targeting beats raw intensity every time, and how poor movement patterns cause even advanced lifters to "miss the dartboard" on hypertrophy.Periodization for Advanced Lifters Learn Kyle's take on the great periodization debate - linear progression vs. varied stimulus approaches - and why he sides with consistency over complexity.Volume Programming Strategy Kyle reveals how to determine individual recoverability and adjust volume based on actual training intensity rather than generic recommendations.Rib Cage & Pelvis Mechanics Advanced biomechanics breakdown: How rib cage position affects muscle fiber recruitment and why pelvis orientation is crucial for glute development.Cutting Phase Modifications Strategic programming adjustments for the final weeks of contest prep, including carb timing and volume manipulation to maintain training stimulus.Industry Critique Kyle's honest take on the biggest problems plaguing online coaching and why ego-driven content is hurting client results.ACTIONABLE STRATEGIES:The 3-category client assessment system for program modificationsHow to use ancillary movements to extend primary exercise runwayCarb timing protocols for maintaining training intensity during deep cutsExercise order manipulation for better muscle targetingCONNECT WITH KYLE BAXTER: Instagram: @CoachBaxter
