A great post from my favourite fitness & bikini modelling Facebook page:
When it comes to training I always say you are only as strong as your weakest limb. I love this saying as it is so true. Have you heard of a “kingpin”? It’s what loggers call the one log that slows all other logs from advancing down the river. You have kingpins too, and you can improve your training progress by identifying them. So how about tonight you even work out what your top Kingpin is? And then…..begin to think about getting rid of it!!!!
Think about the training progress you’ve made thus far. Whatever your goals happen to be, how close have you gotten to them? Are you 70% there? 85%? This doesn’t need to be expressed as a percentage, but I want you to conjure up some type of honest report card for yourself.
Next, imagine what your best possible self would look like after doing everything exactly right for a really good, consistent 6 months. In other words, near perfect (we don’t quite do “perfect ok)!!nutrition and supplementation, the highest possible level of motivation and discipline, the best possible exercises, the best possible technique, the best possible periodization scheme. In short, the best possible habits that you can give 97% too (again I’m pushing back on the 100%).
When I do this exercise myself, I must admit that I’m really not sure what the difference would be between my current self and my “ultimate potential” best self. I’d sure like to find out, though, and I believe I do know how to get there. Wouldn’t you?
I’m about to share a personal assessment tool with you that I found from an older bodybuilder but his name escapes me at the moment (sorry for that) that I’ve been using for a while now but for reasons that still elude me, haven’t written about it much – until now. I want you to start thinking about your training goals (and more specifically, the process you’re using to attain them) as a big system, composed of several interrelated components.
I’ll use myself as an example: I want to be as strong and muscular as possible, and I would like to look reasonably lean: like “oh she trains” kind of a look if you know what I mean? And of course, along the way, I want to stay safe, feminine, happy and healthy so I can keep doing this stuff long term AND keep upbeat enough to help my BC clients too.
Step One: Identify And Itemise Your Components
The achievement of these goals requires that I commit time and energy to a variety of categories, which I’ll call “components.” They include, but aren’t limited to:
• Gym, equipment and hate to admit it but music and atmosphere!!!
• Coaching and social support
• Personal knowledge of my craft of exercise prescription (I believe it’s my speciality)
• Nutrition and supplementation
• Age
• Overall health and specifically, my current neurological status ( having nerve issues)
• Mastery and driving force
• Joint mobility
• Optimal programming and/or periodization strategy
• Hormonal status
• Personal finances
Now depending on how you think, your list might be a bit different, but it’s the overall concept that’s most important here. The idea is to list every possible factor that’s involved or potentially involved with the attainment of your big goal.
