Goal Setting

Failing to Plan

is

Planning to Fail


I wish that it was me who came up with that quote but it ain't!!

But it rings so true.

If you want to achieve anything in this world you have to have a clear set of defined goals.

Of Course we look at things from a training perspective...

Goals like

Lose 30 lbs

Add 50 pounds to your Bench Press

Compete in first Strongman Competition..


But Goal Setting also applies all aspects of your life as well...

Life Goals

Pay off a credit card

Improve your relationship with your spouse

spend more quality time with your kids.

Most people start their day with no real plan to speak of.



What's missing from this guys Plan? A shirt? a belt? maybe a mirror?

What do you think this dude is going to achieve in his day?

So many people say that they want to make changes and strive for goals yet they fail to be specific about the goal and the fail to make a plan to achieve that goal.

For instance how many of you actually have a training log?

I will wager to bet most of you dont. How do you monitor your progress?

Now for those of you who do have a training journal (good job!)

How many of you have a clear and specific goal written down in your journal?

Now the group gets even thinner...

In Fact that goal should be written at the top of every page of your journal.

One of my clients has her goal pinned up on her bathroom mirror and again smack dab in the middle of her fridge door!!

Hows that for constant reminders!!

Pick a Goal

Make a Plan

Work Your Plan

Achieve your goals!!

This guy ain't no Spring Chicken!!

Peter Wagner is no Spring Chicken

He's in His late Forties...

He work's hard during the day and pounds out Ass grinding Workouts in the evening and on the weekends.

Saturdays he can be found with the boys working out strong man style in his garage that is coverted into a hardcore gym...

I pull up into the laneway, the heavy metal is blarring..the place smells of Tiger Balm...

There are all kinds of heavy metal objects like farmer's walk handles, 650 lb tires, a 450 lb steel yoke lying off to one side.

The otherside of the garage is Steel logs and some hardcore Lifting Stones..

The Stones range from 140 lbs to 360+ lbs...



As I got there Peter was getting ready to do some Log Clean and Press Its 240 lbs it suppossed to be for a single 1 rep max



Check it Here...




After the Log Press Peter Decides to hit some Big Atlas Stones

Here he goes after a 320 lb Atlas Stone...Awesome

Check it Here...



Any 20 - 30 years old out there that would like to be able to do this?

Meet Greg

This is Greg






He did a Hos-tyle Condioning Class with us on Saturday.

Greg didn't know what to expect. He was brought in by Peter (the dude who lost the 100lbs)

He was ready for action and I put him through a kick ass workout.

He worked hard, he pushed himself.

When he thought he was done we made him do more.

When I thought he was done he did more...

Greg pushed himself until he Puked!!

I like Greg! Everyone else liked Greg!

Be like Greg!!

Way to go Greg!!!
