Achieving a significant result (for you)

While it could relate to any time-point, a significant result in this instance relates to the short-term change in variables associated with the desired outcome.

A significant result is going to be unique for each person, but could fall into a range of different yet interrelated outcomes including:

  • Body recomposition (increasing the percentage of lean muscle mass)
  • Improving athletic performance (endurance or strength)
  • Improving biomarkers associated with physiological heath
  • Decreasing body fat mass

A simple example could be increasing from 18 to 20 completed reps for a 100kg barbell squat over a two-week period.

By calculating volume (reps x weight) and comparing the two weeks, the individual has increased performance by ~11%, which is a significant result.
