The Secret to Setting and Achieving Fitness Goals at Any Age

I don’t like to brag (ok maybe I do a little bit) but sometimes you have to toot your own horn or nobody else will.

Last week I set a new personal best for bench press and leg press. Considering I am 45 years old, I thought that was pretty good. Most people I know quit increasing their max 10 years before that. I bench pressed 435 lbs for two reps and did over 1000 lbs on the leg press for a full set of eight!! That’s pretty good by any standard and awesome for me. It is particularly good considering I weigh 210 pounds with less then 10% body fat and I have been decreasing my percent body fat simultaneously.

So how do I do it? Do I have a secret? There are a few fundamentals that everyone should know and take advantage of, but yet so few do. I will talk about four of those today and leave the rest for another essay.
