Plan your success: Body goals

What's up guys!

In this short post I want to tell you about the power of an event / date where you want to perform your best or be in the best shape possible.
This can be seen as an extension to my post yesterday

Last year i definitely got in my best shape ever.
I credit this to the support group i had over this time and an upcoming photoshoot for my website's pictures.
Both the people around me, who at that point of the year were a lot of colleagues from my strength coach education and the upcoming shoot were super motivating.

I would've not get into the condition i was in if i were merely tried to "look good at the beach" or "maybe lose 2-3kg".
I wanted to get into an awesome shape so the pictures on my website would scream: This guy knows what he is doing.
And so i did.

I set up a plan and followed trough with a specific end date in mind.
The plan made it easy to not spend too much time and energy wasting on decision making.
I set up a workout routine and followed a rather flexible IIFYM (if it fits your macros) diet where i was trying to hit a calorie and protein goal each day.
It wasn't always easy but i was able to lose about 6kg in 8 weeks and was super happy with how the pictures turned out.

So if you want to change the way you look permanently or for a specific event or date:

• Become crystal clear WHY you want to do it
• Set up an actionable plan (3 workouts a week on Mo,Wed,Fr, hitting 2400kcal and 160g Protein daily, etc.)
• Have an end goal in mind or set a specific date so you know when you're done

This seems like a lot to ask from yourself, but better be very focused and strict for a couple of weeks and REALLY get some results instead of always dabbling around and getting nowhere.

Anyways, that's it for today's post i hope you get something out of it.
If you have any questions regarding health / fitness / body composition I'm glad to help anyone out!

As always: Keep calm and carry on
