People who take classes find that they see results for a while at the start of their class career but after a month or so find results slowing dramatically. Two reasons;
1) When they started, the class was near enough to their maximum strength levels that they kept inroad fatigue low compared to now so the recovery rate was quicker.
2) Because it was initially near their maximum strength levels they spent more time under a higher tension that was nearer to their maximum.
Now the body has become stronger the class represents a lower percentage of their maximal strength ability (perhaps 80% at the start and now only 50-60%) so by the end of each class when they have pushed to the limit and are fatigued, their inroads/fatigue sit as deep as 40-50%, this takes a lot longer to recover from than a 20% inroad fatigue but they still keep attending classes 3-5 days a week which doesn’t allow enough time for the fatigue to be recovered from so they stay in a constantly fatigued state; stress hormones raise, body fat may rise and they lose interest. (Recovery from fatigue varies by individual fibre make up, the faster twitch dominant you are the longer your recovery can take so fatigue should be kept as low as possible for frequent training).

If they wanted continued progress they should have in fact made the classes harder so they were nearer the maximum strength efforts again as they were in the beginning (thus inroad/fatigue would lower but higher tensions would be experienced for longer periods of time again) or moved from classes to strength training or sprint training where maximal efforts with minimal fatigue can be achieved regularly.
