excel sheet
On the last few pages of this book. Being able to look back at progress and track yourself is very important. People that just show up and do random shit are morons and no surprise morons are the vast majority
Link to book?
I dont record anything. I just know my warmup weights and go from there depending on feel for the day. Somedays might be higher weight lower reps, other days might be lower weight higher reps. Ive got no idea really, probably why i dont put on muscle despite training for 12mths. Might start tracking.

wat
It's just a 30 cent notebook from Walmart or whatever man. Small enough to fit in my pocket at the gym.
The idea is to constantly track your weight and reps and constantly attempt to lift more. If you aren't doing this you are just fricking around. You should be able to either get more reps or more weight basically every week for a very very long time. If you are a noob and not improving every single workout you are doing it wrong
Sorry, my brain is capable of keeping track of these kinds of things.

Lmao what???
Same
Same. I wish you didn’t have to pay extra to have a template for more than 3 workouts. Seems like that rule was created to frick over brosplitters like me.
Best app ever.
I use FitNotes to track it. If you don't track your weights and progress you won't know how you're progressing over time and you won't be able to look back and see what works the best or what holds you back
It's amazing,
For something as simple as lifting
How stupid everyone is going into it, completely unaware of even the most basic things
For many people, telling them lifting and gym is like telling them some rocket scientis
FitNotes is the best. love that it even does basic graphing and such for your volume and routine management. been using it for years now
I have an excell sheet with my workout movements on the first column and then dates across the going to the right one per column then i log weights each time i go
Head
>try
I don't try, I do remember. Maybe you should do some memory exercises.
You remember because you lift the exact same weight every time for months right? Lmao
I don't really care how much I lifted the last time I did the exercise, I just care about how much stress I'm causing on my body for that session.
No, probably the reason I'm not progressing. I just can't be arsed writing down all that shit, is there some other way?
Just don't be a lazy b***h
Sorta if I'm new to a routine or changed out my lifts for a mesocycle I'll write everything down until I have a sense of what's normal. Beyond that I only write down changes/failed sets.
Yeah, I use Excel but in terms of progression I am more worried about how something felt when performing a particular weight. I also write down possible explanations for good or bad performance.
If you’re lifting to failure you don’t need to keep track of weight or reps.
I keep track, but really in a way that records previous changes. Just where I am now and where I'm going.
Marks the exercise, the weight, whether I'm upping reps an/or weight, whether or not I expect some challenge / failure (~), and notes to remember. Just gotta keep that progressive overload!
