Setting goals always helps for me. In addition, frequently
changing/adjusting the assistance exercises in my workout schedule helps
to keep you on your toes and keeps things from getting stale. It also
helps to have a future meet to prepare for.

I'm a firm believer that all training should be goal oriented. This always
helps with motivation. I also will print up what my goals, let's say for a
meet, and post them in my office, my truck, etc. So I see them, am
reminded and constantly aware of what I need to do and what I want to
achieve. Also, you should have a routine made for an entire cycle. Always
know what you need to do in the gym prior to getting there.

  I have a 6' by12' greese board in my garage where I keep track of my
lifts my past meet lifts and my goals. I also track my workouts on paper
so I can realize my progress or lack of.
