How I Set My Strength Goals for 2024

Long-term followers of my Youtube channel will know I set some pretty bold strength goals at the beginning of 2024.

I created these videos to share my excitement for the year to come, and to talk about my training. Like many personal trainers, I love to talk about the nitty-gritty of goalsetting, training programme design, and good workouts. If that sounds interesting to you, you should subscribe here for updates, and subscribe to my Youtube channel as well.

But back to the topic of strength goals. Goalsetting is a huge factor in planning your fitness journey, and requires a great deal of consideration. It can be all too easy to set goals without any paying any mind to the actions or habits required, or to convince yourself that goals are out of your reach.

I love hearing about my clients’ goals. I always emphasise that there needs to be a strong connection between your goals and your values. If you don’t have that connection, then your strength goals are just numbers on a piece of paper. This is another reason why I recorded myself talking about my strength goals for 2024; I wanted to demonstrate the process of setting goals. This included rating each goal on its level of significance, and discussing why these goals appealed to me. Another crucial part is deciding how I will work towards these goals.

I also go into detail about why I think these goals are realistic. This involves looking at my training history and understanding what I can do differently to break new ground in the future. It’s important to have a thorough understanding of all of these points if you’re going to reach your goals.

Here is the breakdown of my lower body strength goals for 2024. From this video, you can also find my upper body goals.

It already feels like a million years since I set these goals. In fact, I have already completed the first block of training for these goals! I recently posted an update on how my training is going and whether I managed to reach my first deadlift milestone.
