Can the body adapt to increasing cortisol as he/she gets more advanced?
Dr. Jordan mentioned that if we hit a plateau of a certain program, it may very well be due to undertraining because eventually the stress will not be enough to cause further adaptation. So what i understand is that to increase stress, we can do this by doing additional volume or rather add more overall work i.e. more sets or more reps or even both. But for us to do more work, we need to mobilize energy, which is done by the production of cortisol which, in excess, is detrimental to the natural lifter.
