Progress?

Self-audit time!

What kind of shape are you in? How strong are you? How lean (or not) are you?

Are you closer to your goals than you were two weeks ago? Two months ago? Last year?

If your training and diet are working, then the answer to the above question should be a resounding YES. If your answer is anything less, take a moment now to be honest with yourself:

• Am I doing all that I can?
• Am I firing on all cylinders with regards to diet and nutrition?
• Am I emphasizing progression in my workouts?
• Am I lifting progressively heavier loads or improving my work capacity?
• Am I paying enough attention to rest and recovery?

If this seems like too many questions for you, then here’s your homework; the BIG question:

Am I closer to my goals right now than I was on this day a year ago?

Let’s see…where was I a year ago? Ah – I remember now. Sigh – one year too early.
