When your strength/size gains stop. Aside from the reasons Zack posted, if your routine doesn't challenge your body properly you won't progress.

if ur trying to get over a plataue.. try changing things up.. such as ur diet, training routine, or a change of gym

You could also just rest a week without training,better than training light in my opinion.

What helped me get past my plateau was taking 5 days off then switching the routine. I was stuck benching 165 and I hadn't taken enough off days and was overtraining, unfortunately that went on for about 2 months, but eh you live and you learn.
