How to Set Your 2-Month Strength Goals with Confidence (and a Little Fun!)
Ready to Get Stronger? Let’s Make It Happen!
You’ve been crushing your workouts, feeling stronger, and maybe even flexing in the mirror a little more often (no judgment—we all do it). Now it's time to take things up a notch. How? By setting some solid, no-nonsense, totally doable strength goals for the next two months. Here’s how to do it without overthinking.
Step 1: Know Where You’re Starting Grab those trusty dumbbells you’ve been using. Are they 3 lbs? 5 lbs? 8 lbs? Great! That’s your baseline. Think of it like your starting point on a map—before you can plan your route, you need to know where you are.
Step 2: Pick Your “Next Level” Weight Here’s the magic formula: Add 30% to 50% more weight to what you're currently lifting. Sounds fancy, but it’s super simple. Check this out:
Lifting 3 lbs now? Aim for 4–5 lbs by April.
Using 5 lbs? Set your sights on 7–8 lbs.
Rocking 8 lbs? Let’s get you to 10–12 lbs.
It’s like upgrading from a regular coffee to a double shot—just enough to feel the difference.
Step 3: The Goldilocks Test Your goal should feel just right:
Too easy? You won’t see much progress.
Too hard? You might sacrifice form.
Just right? It feels challenging, but you can keep good form with a little grit.
Step 4: Break It Down, Week by Week You don’t need to leap from 5 lbs to 10 lbs overnight. Think of it like leveling up in a game:
Weeks 1–3: Focus on perfect form with your current weight.
Week 4: Add a little more weight (1–2 lbs).
Weeks 5–8: Keep building until you hit your goal.
Step 5: Track Your Wins Write it down. Whether it’s a notebook, an app, or a sticky note on your fridge, tracking your progress helps. Every time you add weight, celebrate it! (Yes, happy dances count.)
Final Thoughts:
Progression isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up, challenging yourself, and seeing what you’re capable of. Set your goal, trust the process, and remember—you’re stronger than you think.
Now, go crush it!
