No goal (for me) makes the slow gains more acceptable and pleasurable. The “better but not good enough yet” thoughts I had with a definitive goal were damaging my motivation.
As long as I get gains, period. That’s good enough for me.
This is the attitude I take when giving someone advice when I get a message regarding my gains. Honestly, my entire PE career was based on just trying things to get bigger. Only in the last few years did I utilize some structure and some definitive goals. And for the most part, nothing about my PE changed as far as gains were concerned. Knowing what I wanted just made me mad when it didn’t happen the way I planned or wished for it to.
I have decided if I get bigger, I’ll be happier. I have a vague stopping point in mind but no goals set. This way gains are just a pleasant surprise along the way.
