11 dirty little secrets that will triple your progress in the gym (I’m not joking).

1. Give yourself incentives for achieving your goals that do not hurt your progress:

Celebrating a weight loss milestone by having 2 giant pizzas is like celebrating a week of sobriety with a bottle of champagne.

Choose incentives that are enjoyable but keep you on track.

For example, every night you hit your protein intake, enjoy a small piece of dark chocolate.

The concept of positive reinforcement is something that has been proven to be effective.

The tricky part is finding incentives that keep you track to achieving your goals.

2. Supersets:

While 1 muscle is resting, the other is working.

Supersets are a great way to get more volume without spending more time in the gym.

Typical supersets involve 2 exercises training opposite muscle groups.

E.g chest and back, legs and shoulders

3. Record your form:

Recording yourself gives you unbiased perspective of technical proficiency.

You will be able to identify form deficiencies and can work to improve them.

Compare footage every week or two to assess your progress.
