Knowing what to do is important, but making sure you are on the right path and actually making change is important too!

Embrace the process, yes, but increase chances of success via collecting data; the end goal/progress does still matter How to measure strength effectively; including the mental game of strength focused athletes Measuring progress for hypertrophy; the careful balancing act of delayed gratification and ensuring you are on the right path Nutrition is a big part of the equation: keep it simple yet effective Emphasising the role that patience plays when measuring progress A solid support system goes a LONG way; coaching and the power of friendship How do YOU currently measure your progress?
