In my last post I talked about training consistency which is something that I believe is very important when weight lifting or doing any sort physical training.
However, that is only the stepping stone because the focus of these articles is success.
Any person doing any sort of exercise will be more successful if they set goals for themselves.
If there is one lesson that should be taken out of the last post it’s that you need to keep a journal, diary or whatever you call it to log your progress.
This journal or whatever will be instrumental for tracking your success and achieving your goals.
Here is an exercise that I think almost any person can benefit from in any endeavor whether physical, mental or financial.
On a piece of paper right out your long term goals-- things that you want to accomplish. From there take your goal and break it down it to several mini goals.
An example would be bench pressing 300-pounds. First what your would do is break that goal down to benching 145 for 3, 200 for 3, 225 for 3 and so on.
You want to set bench marks find mini-goals that are achievable that will eventually work to that final result.
Breaking something down smaller and smaller will help you gain the confidence you need to succeed.
Endlessly repping 195 for months even years at a time will not put you any closer towards that 300 bench.
Nothing is impossible it just might need more steps to complete.
If you continue to achieve these mini goals you will become more motivated to work hard and succeed.
Remember the naysayers that tell you, you can’t do something are people who are either jealous or have tried and failed.
Why did they fail because they didn’t set those mini goals they just went for it and failed.
