As the God of Aesthetics has talked about on earlier occasions, clicking pictures of your progress over time can help keep you motivated, and by following this, you’ll find your training satisfying. Instead of focusing on numbers like weight, reps, and sets, Zane wanted fitness enthusiasts to pay attention to what made them feel better and kept them going.
The three-time Mr. Olympia winner also advocated the fact that fitness enthusiasts will do better in their regimes if they believe in the concept of full growth, and train every part equally. Zane’s words work as a reminder that slight changes in your workout routine can make big differences. In another post, Zane had earlier talked about how you can think of the off-season as a phase of turning your weakest parts into the strongest ones.
