I want to lose 15 pounds. I want to bench 400 pounds and have 19 inch biceps. I want to get down to 6% body fat. Do those goals or similar ones sound familiar. They should. This is how most folks express their fitness goals. These are outcome goals. They describe an end state that you'd like to achieve. And in fact, these are pretty good outcome goals in that they are measurable. Much better than something like I'd like to get bigger and lose some body fat, also an outcome goal but vague and unmeasurable.
