Fall Phase 1: Week 1

This week officially kicks off the fourth quarter of the year, the final 25%.

How are you going to finish this year?

October is usually strong, other than Halloween you don’t have too many “lifestyle” obstacles.

Of course, as you head into November you start getting into the holiday season.

So, Q4 typically goes one of two ways:

1. You keep things dialed in from now until Thanksgiving, and then just try to maintain from Thanksgiving through the end of the year, maybe with a slight push.
2. You never buckle down and it snowballs into the holiday season and you never get back on track until the new year.

I'm hoping for the first option.

Setting realistic goals is a big part of that.

You should aim to do 50 workouts between now and the end of the year.

Start with Phase 1: Week 1, right here.

Fifty workouts from today doesn’t sound like much, but as you get into the second half of this quarter, it becomes tough. Of course, make it your own goal, maybe it’s 40 for you, maybe it’s 50.

The more important point is you're setting process-based goals and performance-based goals. Meaning, you can control the performance in a particular training session.

You can control whether or not you meal prep today, and also portion sizes during a particular meal... these are process-based goals.

The outcome goal (getting lean and strong) only happens if you nail your process and performance-based goals.

Setting a realistic training-frequency goal is a great process-based goal, you can track it, and it will most likely lead to your outcome-based goals.

Let's finish the final 25% strong.

To your success,
