Unlocking Your Potential: The Critical Role of Week-13 Goal Reviews at Hardbody Athlete

At Hardbody Athlete, we understand that real progress in strength training and athletic performance isn’t just about hitting the gym consistently—it’s about strategic adjustments and targeted feedback. That’s why our Week-13 Goal Reviews are pivotal to your training journey. These reviews allow us to tailor your program precisely to your needs, ensuring continuous improvement and goal alignment. Here’s why these evaluations are indispensable:

1. Feedback to Coach This is your opportunity to share insights with your coach about your training experience. Feedback can include what you enjoyed, what you found challenging, and any personal insights you have about the training methods used. This two-way communication is essential for refining your future training cycles.

2. Consistency Evaluation Did you attend at least 85% of your sessions? Maintaining this level of consistency is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of your program. This metric helps us assess your commitment and pinpoint any adjustments needed to better accommodate your schedule and motivation.

3. Readiness Evaluation Evaluating whether your readiness scores typically fell within the optimal range of 3.4-3.6 out of 5 provides insights into how well you were prepared for your sessions and how your recovery strategies are working. Adjustments may be needed if your scores were consistently above or below this range.

4. Perceived Exertion We review whether your average perceived exertion fell within the ideal range of 4-6 out of 10. This helps gauge if the intensity of the sessions was appropriate for achieving maximum benefit without overtraining.

5. Strength Performance One of our core goals is to ensure you achieve a 2-4% increase in strength week over week, accumulating to a 15-20% increase at the end of your 12-week program. This review point helps us determine the effectiveness of the current training plan and guide future programming.

6. Structural Balance and Strength Ratio Optimization We assess the balance between different muscle groups and strength ratios to identify performance limitations. Exercises like the barbell split squat and seated barbell good morning are analyzed to ensure they are helping you achieve a balanced strength profile, crucial for both performance enhancement and injury prevention.

7. Sports Science Review Using tools like ForceDecks, Inbody570, grip dynamometers, and laser speed gates, we assess the effectiveness of your training regimen. These Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) measure how well training is translating to enhanced athletic potential, identifying any asymmetries or performance decreases, and confirming the efficacy of the program.

8. Goal Reassessment Finally, we discuss any changes in your goals or circumstances that might affect your training, such as seasonal variations that impact your training frequency, consistency, or intensity. This ensures your training program remains aligned with your evolving objectives and life changes.
