The best way to improve gains in the gym!

The Focus of this piece isn't some magic remedy that you can take to get the perfect physique or life, it's something that you currently have but  would be a great deal better at doing more of......i  have 2 words for you SLOW DOWN.

First relating to fitness and health, taking the time to focus on what you want to actually achieve in terms of physique....do you want to get lean, bulk up, get healthier, train for a specific competition....thinking about this before you train will help you tailor your training and give you something to set your mind on and you'll be able to see gains. SLOW DOWN and take time before you have a session to set what you  want to achieve, you'll save time and not waste needless energy on exercises that won't help you towards your aim.

Slowing down when actually doing the exercise is also really important, focus on the muscle part your trying to work on, slow controlled reps with steady, controlled and intentional breathing makes all the difference. This may seem more difficult at first but in time you'll learn to control your movements and see infinite gains!

Everyone is on a strict timescale with the amount of jobs and tasks to do outside the gym seeming to never end. However, don't let this effect your time in the gym, if you rush around too much when in the gym you tend to ignore all the positive things that could benefit you. The gym itself is like a community with like minded individuals that you can get tips from or give tips to and getting to know other enthusiast will make you want to go to the gym on the days where motivation is lacking. Take time with your work out and actively see how you improve week on week and how you can challenge yourself in the gym and how it translates to how you deal with things outside the gym.
