Module 1 - Orientation
Best Study Practices
- SMART goals
- My goal: Complete the Barbell Principles course in two months of study.
- Specific
- The course provides the specificity with its defined curriculum.
- Measurable
- I've set a two-month. This is ambitious, and will require daily study. I'll block time on my calendar each morning to head to the coffee shop near my house and do my studying. I'll also put some study into chemistry during these sessions.
- I will also self-assess all of my own lifting videos in upcoming training sessions, separately from Matt's analysis. Without giving him cues, I'll be able to note difference in his expert analysis and my more amateur eye.
- Attainable
- Matt told me this course has been completed in as few as 40 days. I have a flexible schedule, and also have a lot of experience with learning efficiently. I believe I can do it.
- Relevant
- Why? I'm passionate about my own fitness, and want to attain a deep understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and programming for both athletic achievement and life-long health.
- In addition to achieving personal growth and edification, I'll be able to share better knowledge and advice on my YouTube channel and other content platforms. Attaining my barbell coaching certificate will help me improve my business.
- Time-Bound
- There is a two-month achievement goal for this challenge.
