Goals yes goals we should all have one for something we want in life and would like to achive. This will make you a better, well rounded person in the long run instead of being some lazy fat ass bum who wakes up on his mother and fathers couch still living at home and you're 25 years old. Great example I know we all know one or two of these losers. With this said there are goals for weight loss or weight gain that we should shoot for. 

Reachable

These should be reasonable goals not some over exaggerated ones that you know damn well you can't achieve unless you're superman. If you want to lose weight then lets say 10 lbs is a good start. Slowly go about it the right way by watching your food portions and what you're eating.


Routine
Second implement some kind of weight training or physical activity to get you there faster and more effectively. Losing 2-3 lbs a week is a great goal to achieve and by the time you know it the 10 lbs or more will be gone. The person who says I am going to lose 20-30 lbs in a month is the retard who will be right back to were they started after they fall off the wagon and go back to the same old routine of eating shitty and not dieting. They might starve themselves to get there but this isn't the safest and most effective way to lose weight. The person who takes their time and does it right will achieve the life long goal of keeping the weight off. 


Little Victories
In the gym we can set goals as in bench pressing or squatting, etc. You might want to build up your bench press to 315 lbs from 250 in 2 months time. You can do this by slowly and gradually building up the weight each week. This should put stress on the chest and in return the body will start to compensate due to the pressure of the added weight and will cause the muscle to get stronger and larger each time you do chest. Being able to run a couple miles in a certain time or able to walk the treadmill for a long distance can be another small goal, it all depends on you. Just remember that these steps, as small as they may be, go a long the way when you keep it up.  


Results and Maintenance 
With a good diet, exercise and proper sleep you should see results. The person who rushes into this by straining and not using proper form or diet will hurt themselves in the long run. It doesn't happen overnight. It takes hard work to get reach goals and harder to maintain once you've gotten there. So stay focussed! And if you mess up thats okay make up for it the next day.



My main purpose in writing this is to just say to everyone don't just walk into the gym and be a number on a membership card, but make it a lifestyles and use the tools around you to succeed. Get a good trainer if you have to, so they can teach you and help felicitate the success of these goals. Push and stay focused everyhting is achievable if you do so.

The Truth On My New Years Resolutions

I've been talking a lot about goals and resolutions for this new year, so I decided to make a few of my own and share them with you. 

1. Tell nothing but the brutal truth and nothing but the truth!

2. Take first in the Masters this year at the Southern States in my weight class. I places 2nd last year.

3. Place in the top 5 in the country at the Masters Nationals in my weight class. I placed 9th last year.

4. This one the bodybuilders will understand...I want to bring in my glute hamstring tie in so they are shredded when I turn around.

5. Help everyone understand that there is more to bodybuilding than just what they see in the magazines. That includes educating the masses with new ideas and training techiniques.

6. Advise my followers of the best way to use supplements;  which ones to take and when to use them, etc.

7. Once again shake Arnolds hand at the Arnold but this time not get smushed by his security team while doing so! (got mugged several years back trying to shake his hand at my booth.)

8. Train with the King of the hardcore Dorian Yates just once in my life time and listen to the legend himself.

9. Not lose anymore hair off my head from stress! haha

10. Stay physically and mentally strong no matter what I face ahead of me.


Lets rock this new year Truth Army!

The Truth On Setting Goals

Here is something to think about as you take your training into the
 new year…set realistic goals!! Not some bullshit goals that you set
up for failure just to say I have goals. There are 4 steps I suggest you follow when setting up your new years resolutions and goals.

Set measurable goals:

When setting goals this new year you want to be able to measure your success, so if your goal is to lose weight, be specific and say I want to lose 10 pounds, or fit into my favorite pair of jeans. Whatever your goals are make sure you can asses your progress.

Timeline:

Be healthy folks. Don’t try any magic pills that you think will do everything will little to no work involved and remember health takes time and eventually becomes a lifestyle. Set up bench marks to your ultimate goal. If your goal is to run a mile in 7 minutes and you currently run them in 15 minutes work with that. In 2 weeks I want to run it in 13, in another 2 weeks 11, in another 9 and another 7. Progress is key. Its those little victories that will keep you going. And don’t get discouraged if you have a relapse, everyone has off days. Just shake it off and work thru it.

Plan:

Your plan should include fitness and nutrition. Keyword: AND! So if you’re getting ready for a bodybuilding competition set up a work out regiment and diet plan.. Remember that your plan is continuous even once you’ve reached your goals, because then you have to MAINTAIN!

Execution:

Once you’ve completed the 3 steps above, its time to do work. Anyone can say they’re going to do it, but few actually do. Don’t make excuses for yourself and put other things before your goals. Sure you’re tired but take a BetaNOX and get over it. That’s what I do! And if you find a good partner, push each other to pass your limits and push thru the pain. You train like there is no other way to train and
 that's BALLS TO THE WALL and you educate yourself in this arena of
Gladiators.

Your Goals:

Now that you have this valuable info, set up your goals, timeline, and plans and tell me about it. You can even write to me on Facebook or Twitter and report your progress to me. I be there to push you Truth Army!

Hasta La Vista
