Goal Setting
Mark Brown September 2, 2021 Goal setting has always been hard for me to wrap my head around because I have rarely met something prior to strength training worth having a hard standard to hit. Even after I started lifting, setting specific goals was difficult for me. Lifting for general health is so aimless. Effective …
Thus Far…
