Training is much more intimidating and requires greater consistency, mental preparation, and attentional focus when you regularly strive to set personal records (PRs). If youre happy with your current physique and strength levels, then maintenance mode is simple and easy. But if youre looking for improvements in muscularity, body composition, and of course strength, then going for PRs makes an enormous difference over the long run. Its fun to hit the gym and just get in a good workout without paying attention to loads, sets, and reps or beating a previous best. While this is perfectly fine to do, you need to push the limits a couple of times per week if you want maximal results. Every few months you should be a little bit stronger and fitter - it signals the body to adapt and become a stronger and denser unit.
