So – the results from today have started to settle 
And I’ve been throwing around some goals…
But I think there are two things here… there’s defining the goals – and setting the level of commitment in achieving those goals. The higher the level of commitment, the greater the potential achievement – therefore the goals should be adjusted accordingly.
So let’s talk about that first – level of commitment. I have to admit that I’m astonished at the results I’ve seen so far. Yes – the arms are lower than I would’ve liked… but here’s the opportunity where I can put in even more focus and dedication.
So – I’m going to push my level of commitment even higher. But there will be some trade-offs… which hopefully will turn into benefits. I want to manage my time better… which will facilitate greater time to reflect / read / listen to music… be by myself… which is something I want to do more and more. Hopefully this’ll also facilitate the ability to have more sleep.
This is a big thing for me – if I increase my level of commitment to this… I need an immediate payback, which I’m more than happy to be this rejuvenation. I think it’s fair – and exciting (although kind of idiosyncratic – how doing less can be more exciting than doing more – I’m kinda fucked up!).
So – with the level of commitment higher… now the goals. Obviously – it’s gonna be about upper body… so here we go:
