The Strength Goal

Let’s face it, if you’ve never lifted a barbell in your life, you sure as hell won’t be deadlifting 2 times your bodyweight in a couple of weeks.

Instead, say you’ll set a baseline for all your lifts in the gym and commit to adding 2.5kg – 5kg at each session until your progress stalls.

Then make smaller jumps. When progress stalls again it’s time for a new approach. Work it out with your coach.

Log your progress every time you put in a workout.

If you fail to make progress next time you step in the gym, take a look at your journal and see how far you’ve come since Day 1.

This can often mean the difference between you giving up completely, or hopping back up on the platform and staying the course.

These simple strategies will help you clearly monitor your progress and remind you how far you’ve come. You will feel really proud of yourself and will likely make training stick for life.

There’s no greater motivational tool!
