[rocker921]

I hv heard that taking a week or two's break help a lot in busting ur Plateau....
What are the best methods to bust your plateau??

Changing up the rep range I've been working in, changing the movements I do or change the volume. Breaks help sometimes too.

Personally i find hitting the plataeuing bodypart everyday or every other day for a week then a week off from it works.

but if your plataeuing as a whole then increase reps drop weigths and allow more recovery time by switching to an upper/lower split or just increase cals and take a week off.

increase cals and take a week off

Yup. Resting and more cals.

Reduce the weight and start my N+1th cycle of 5/3/1.

Absolutely, also try adding an extra day (or 2) between workouts...give your muscles more chance to recover.

Just keep you routine changing. I usually run 4-5 different workouts as far as sets and reps go and rotate them weekly. With this I only repeat a workout once every month or so. With this I've almost never hit a plateau.
