Break down your goals into bite size pieces.
You have all heard the story about “How to eat an elephant,” right?
This is the same technique, but for your fitness goals in the gym. Grab a partner (it is always easier to accomplish something with someone than by yourself, right?), measure your current fitness status for what you want to achieve, and then set a SMART Goal. Your action is to perform the partner ladder on the exercise you are choosing for your goal. For Example: If your goal is to do 10 pull-ups, then you will to ladders of pull-ups. In a short period of time you should be at the level of strength needed for the performance of 10 pull-ups.
Ladder: Perform 1 rep and then rest while your partner performs 1 rep, then perform 2 reps, resting while your partner performs 2 reps, and so on until one of you can no longer do any pull-ups. Repeat this multiple times per week or even day for faster results. Enjoy!
Here are a few of our great clients performing this style of training on a multitude of their chosen exercises!
