Getting To Your Goal

Setting goals is a very important step when it comes to training. After all, if you have no idea where you are going, any direction is the right one.
Often overlooked, though, is the starting point. In order to be successful you need to know where you are currently.
It's no good to set a 300lb bench as your goal if you have messed up shoulders and a 100lb bench max. Rather set goals that will get you to the point where the bench goal becomes practical. That point should be your goal.
This goes for all your goals. If you want to achieve your goals, you better make sure that you are starting from the right place otherwise you, like so many, will not reach what you set your sights on.
