Results drive our motivation for success. Attaining results, big or small, will guarantee motivation to continue training towards getting lean, and grinding through a heavy deadlift session.

Yet there are a few people out there that enjoy going to the gym, doing the same routine without a change in results. But, if you’re like me, having no change in progress, my motivation will drop and it becomes harder to stay focused in the long run.

Results could be losing a pound of body fat, increasing 5lb in your over head press, or running a mile 10 seconds faster. Set a goal with a time frame and do your best to achieve it. If you don’t reach it ask yourself: Is my goal with the time frame realistic? Or what can I change to achieve it?

What ever the result you want to achieve, make sure they’re a combination of short term and long term. Because the former drives satisfaction, while the latter brings excitement to training.
