SETTING TARGETS

Setting yourself targets is an excellent way to keep your training at world class levels.

Whether its a specific body part or a specific type of activity such as explosive strength training..something is always not going to be getting the adequate focus required.
Humans are creatures of habit,and when it comes to training,we can easily get caught up in our favourite exercises and cause imbalances in musculature.

A rule of thumb when setting targets is to ask yourself..what is  lagging in your training?
What do you really NOT feel like training?

Answer these questions and scrutinize your current goals.Analyze yourself on a constant basis and identify what body parts you have neglected in the last week, or month and then prioritize it.

Constructive scrutiny is a good thing.Knowing your weaknesses sets you on the path to turn them into strengths.Don't obsess or stress about anything,the journey to your goals is half the fun!

Initialize a paradigm shift on your training routine and incorporate a new exercise methodology to shock the body part or athletic feature you are now focusing on. New methodologies could involve adding completely  new exercise routines or simply adding variables and variations to your current routine.
Or a new methodology to performing them such as Madness sets. 

There are many ways to getting out of a plateau, the key is not letting it happen in the first place!

Setting yourself very specific weekly targets along with a more general monthly target is an excellent way to get yourself organized in your training.You don't have to go neurotically apeshit and cover your house in post its. Just a mental note of your current weekly goal along with a broader idea of what you want  to accomplish this month should suffice.
