Firstly, it's BONUS WEEK! Until Wednesday 18th of February if you apply to join the Glam Body Program you'll score some epic bonuses. To hear exactly what they are DM me "GBP Bonuses" and I'll fill you in on all the deets.

Now into today's topic...

You’re in the gym, following a program, hitting your protein intake, taking creatine but you’re not sure if you're training hard enough! You feel like you’re missing something but you don’t know what it is!

You want to get stronger, you want to build more muscle, you want to be one of the gals in the gym that looks like she gets it, you want to train hard. 

All of these things really appeal to you but you just feel stuck like, 'cool I know I need to train hard but how and how do I know if im doing it, how do I know the line between this is just my genetic potential vs I’m actually missing something here?"

Today - I’m going to clear this up for you!

You'll hear what RIR is, what failure is, what standard is required to build muscle and then how to quantify so you're not stuck just going off vibes
