| First Thing Is First: What Is Your Goal? |
Why are you in the gym? Remember, a goal is measurable and attainable. It’s not an abstract desire like, “get jacked, bro.” Something like, “I’d like to add 50 pounds to my squat in 8 weeks” is much more appropriate.

| Your Program Needs To Match Your Goal |
Choose exercises, sets and reps, intensity strategies to meet your goals. If you want to put on 10 pounds of muscle, doing a 5-3-1 program may not be the best route to get there.

| Manipulate Frequency, Volume, Intensity |
You can’t go balls-out 24/27, 365. Good programs plan for recovery. More does NOT equal better.

| Remember Your Lifestyle |
Can you work out for 2 hours each day? If no, then don’t plan your workouts that way.

| Assess Every 6-8 Weeks |
Program hopping will kill your gains, as will programming that’s too difficult.

| Know Why You’re Doing Every Single Exercise |
If said exercise isn’t helping you achieve your goal, don’t do it
