Keep your eye on your goal

Is my routine any good?

That's common question on training forums. The answer is really, really simple.

Yes, if it's getting you closer to your goal.

If your goal is fat loss, and your routine is getting you fat loss, it's a good routine.

If your goal is size gains, and you are getting bigger, it's a good routine.

If your goal is strength, and you are getting stronger, it's a good routine.

If you are not getting closer to your goal, regardless of how "good" the routine is, it's not good for you. If your goal is to get stronger and your routine is aimed at fat loss, even if it's the best damn fat loss plan you could possibly execute, it's a bad routine for you. It won't get you where you want to go.

So ask yourself, is this routine getting me where I aim to go? If it is, keep it up. If it isn't...then it needs to change.
