build muscle with stronglifts 5X5

stronglifts 5X5 - article 1

Article 1

So typically I like to plan out my routines and schedule what, when, and why I’m training and eating a certain way. In this case; however, I decided to jump head-first into StrongLifts 5X5 because, frankly, I’m tired of dancing around the bush with fitness.

For the next 12 weeks I will be training according to the StrongLifts 5X5 program and continuing to Eat To Perform. My 2016 goals include considerable strength gains, so to FINALLY meet these goals, I am going to give this 5X5 program a try. You can find my StrongLifts updates here. I will work in real-time so that you can see first-hand how good-bad-ugly this program ends up being. With that said, I am using this article to introduce the first Strategy in the #MAKEITCOUNT series.

strategy #1 accountability: everyone wants to say they did it, without actually doing it.

Don’t be that person who commits to something and then fails to actually follow through with it. Now I understand some situations are circumstantial, but let’s face it, who likes excuses? Not me.

So while I will be spending the early part of winter working on my strength with StrongLifts 5X5, what will you be doing? Maybe it’s starting to workout for the first time in ten years; maybe your goal is to start flossing twice a day (dental hygiene is important); maybe you’re starting a new job and your goal is to save for retirement; whatever your 2016 goals are, you have to jump all in and go for them. Challenge yourself to do something every day to work towards your goal. 2% changes each day add up to major improvements over the course of weeks, months, and years.

Until Strategy #2… #MAKEITCOUNT. Learn to become Accountable
