There's a difference between sarcoplasmic hypertrophy, which focuses more on increased muscle glycogen storage (size) and myofibrillar hypertrophy, which focuses more on the size of the fibers (strength).
The factors that limit our strength are:
-Neural drive (CNS)
-Secondary contractile messenger system
-Optimal actin and myosin contractile protein saturation
Generally if you reach a strength plateau you can continue to increase the size of the supporting muscles to increase strength. You can also increase the size of the muscles, which can allow for greater strength development.When you hit a wall on a lift, the problem is one of the following (this is true 100% of the time):
Physical
Technical
Mental - Loftren
Those are two very good answers. For me personally I find that the mental aspect is the hardest factor to control.
1. Keep my head on good nutrition which fuels the physical aspect. If I can't keep this straight, the lifts fail.
2. Keeping other distractions out of my head during my training.
3. Block fear
For me if the mental is good, then everything else falls in-place. Physical limitations are there but with consistent work they can be over come, to a certain degree at least.0 -

Same with me. I probably could lift heavier weights, especially when working with kettlebells, but my grip strength isn't quite there yet.
I'd also like to plead that I have small hands. (well, that excuse makes me feel better anyway).0 -

Probably got too much protein in the brain or something. I have no idea what that guy is on about.

Not at all, my squat is better than yours if you must know. I imagine my OHP and Bench are too, but nice try.

I would rather have the mental fortitude to type a complete sentence, then have abs.
but enjoy pumping gas for the rest of your life with communication skills like that. I'll stop in to say high next time I need my tank filled up.
