Prioritizing Training Goals

Establishing primary and secondary training goals is essential for effective progress. Primary goals are highly motivating and take precedence, such as mastering a one-arm chin-up, while secondary goals serve to maintain fitness levels with less intensity, like lower body training or trail running. This structured approach helps avoid overwhelm and confusion that can arise from trying to split focus across too many competing priorities. By limiting focus to a few critical projects at a time, individuals are more likely to experience meaningful adaptations and achieve desired results in their training.
