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?

The brain will start to automate processes once you are used to them. Which requires less cognitive input, which is efficient but can lower the quality of the action.
