Why do we plateau and eventually begin getting worse at some skills?

Why is it that we plateau when learning to do/working to get better at things? For example, during lifting why do we plateau at weights then feel like we get weaker over time? Or learning a skill sometimes feels like we are at our peak but know that we should be able to get better?

When we first start learning/improving a skill, the progress at the start is much faster because we are constantly figuring out new things. As we get better at a skill, it’s difficult to learn more because we already know most of what we can learn and our improvements become harder to notice.
