Training relies on many things, but there is one important factor that is head and shoulders above the rest. That factor is intensity.
No matter what program you're on, how much protein your taking in or how sweet your gym is, none of it matters if you don't train with intensity.
You may have noticed that I don't use the word "working out". Instead, I use the word "train" with clients, friends and myself. Training means you have a goal. Training means you have a purpose. Training means you have more intensity than others when you step foot inside of the gym or weight room.
You focus on what you're goals are when you train with intensity. Every set is done with perfection. You push yourself and your partners to get the weights, reps and sets you are supposed to get. You don't give in when it gets tough.
This is from dictionary.com - great energy, strength, concentration, vehemence, etc., as of activity, thought, or feeling: He went at the job with great intensity.
If you're not pushing yourself, you aren't getting the results you could be. If you're comfortable with you're training and you're ok with how your body looks and feels, good for you. But if you want to make a change in your body, your strength, your athleticism and your life, put your game face on when its time to move weights and train with intensity. Thats how you make changes. Not going half-assed. Thats not how it works in the weight room or in life.
How many of you train at a place that is in line with your goals? I will discuss the importance of this in my next post.
