I grew up as an athlete... if you consider bowling a sport(which I do), and transitioned to bodybuilding and powerlifting early on in college, while still bowling collegiately.
With any sport, or pretty much anything for that matter, you will have some periods of new high series, personal records and muscle gain, but there will also be periods of seemingly endless stagnation.
From experience, I feel like there is one way to to tip the scale in favor of continued growth... competition. The fear of making yourself look like a fool in front of others always seems to be enough to take the intensity from working out to training, from bowling to practicing, from looking at a text book to actually studying, or from writing a little code and checking a little email to building some of the most awesome shit in the world.
