So it's off day, you thought it would never come. All that hard work and torture you have been putting your muscles through has come to a one day hiatus. So what to do with that two hour segment of time that you usually dedicate to going to the gym? Goal Setting.
Goal setting can be just as important as the actual work you put in at the gym. If your energy and dedication isn't being concentrated towards what you want to achieve then it is essentially wasted. Now is a better time than ever to address goal setting seeing as the new year is coming up.
Here are a couple tips on goal setting that I have learned and acquired from over the years:
1. Put it on paper- it needs to be something you look at every day.
2. Tell a close friend or family member- someone needs to hold you accountable.
3. Make it realistic- these are goals, not dreams. That being said don't make it too easy.
Positivity is key! A positive outlook can change the way you live. I don't want to get too philosophical or sappy on you guys, but if you truly believe you can achieve something your odds of success are exponentially better.
That being said, I want everyone of our readers/followers to hold me accountable for my goals as well. I like to break my goals down into smaller segments than just a year so here are my 2-month goals:
1. Get up to 180 lbs. while maintaing a sub 9% BFP.
2. Get squat above 315 lbs.
3. Increase width of abs
4. Increase incline bench press to 225 lbs.
5. Never take more than 1 consecutive day off from the gym.
