Everyone will experience multiple plateaus when working out, either you see little to no improvements on size or strength. Remember my article on periodizing? thats exactly what will help you break through that plateau! your body has become adapted to your current workout and is not as challenged as it was before. change up your exercises, reps, grips, sets, anything to get your body working differently than it was before.
Your plateau could also be from overtraining without enough sleep, or undertraining with too much sleep. You have to know what your bodies feeling, and know how intense your workouts are, and assess the amount of sleep you need for your bodies optimal recovery.
Drop sets at the end of your workout are perfect for pushing your body to the limit and giving it that shock that it needs. at the end of your workout, drop the weight a little and lift until your body can take no more, you should be shaking after the workout. be sure to do this safely and with a spotter tho, the worst thing you can do is push your body to injury, then you have much worse issues than plateaus hindering your growth xP
This article contains another suggestion for a workout to help bust through that plateau :) ENJOY!!!
