Focus on Progression

One of the biggest mistakes I have seen many folks making over the years, is relating their fitness level/progression/goals based on what someone else is doing.  You must focus on your own individual goals, and measure success accordingly   If you're going to succeed in reaching your fitness goals, it is going to take determination, self-motivation, and a lot of hard work.  Don't get discouraged because your not lifting as heavy, or doing as many reps as the next person.  Focus on your Progression.  Everyday is another opportunity to be stronger and better than yesterday.  Set attainable, realistic goals, and measure to that success.  Once you've met those goals, then set the bar a little higher.
