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?

Most skills have things that are easy to pick up, and you’ll see quick progress. After a while those easy gains get harder and harder, requiring more challenge and effort.
For lifting in particular, you have biological constraints that will start to limit how much you can see gains. Depending on how much time/effort you can devote, you’re eventually going to tap out.
