PRs Measure Progress Toward Your Clients’ Goals – PRs Matter

Ensure PRs Connect to Your Clients’ Goals

PRs measure progress toward your clients’ goals.

Your clients’ goals change over time, so you must ensure the PRs you’re tracking and celebrating actually matter to your client.

If you continue to push the client’s deadlift 1RM, but she wants to lose weight, you’re missing the point.

PRs may track:

• consistency
• healthy habits (sleep, water, steps)
• nutrition (macros, protein, drinks of alcohol, number of meals prepped)
• strength (different rep maxes, tonnage, PRs for different lifts)
• hypertrophy (leanness, size of muscles)

You should know your clients’ goals. PRs measure progress toward your clients’ goals, so you should know your clients’ PRs that matter and help assess movement toward their goals.
