Training Logs

I've recently been keeping a log, but I find it cumbersome to actually analyze, ie. it tells me nothing.

What do you guys do for a log?

What do you mean it tells you nothing. ok lets use a little bit of our brains here.

Today Tues was: Incline benched

Set 1 200 lbs x 7 reps
Set 2 200 lbs x 7 reps
set 3 200 lbs x 7 reps

Next Tues: Incline Bench

Set 1 210 lbs x 8 reps
Set 2 210 lbs x 8 reps
set 3 210 lbs x 7 reps.

Now what does this tell you. Tells you that you are stronger and made progress doesn't it. Keep going up in strength and you'll keep adding muscle.

This was from the emergency broadcasting training system. Should there have been a real emergency, please dial 911 and don't PM me.

It's one of my most important tools; it tells you everything about your workouts and your progress. Not using one is a waste of time in my opinion - what's the point of progressing if you can't look back later to see how far you've come if you need motivation?

If you're going to do POWER/REP RANGE/SHOCK I've created a pretty good Microsoft Excel spreadsheet that you can download form the sticky at the top of this forum. It provides a composite page of all of your exercises on the various different weeks. You could create a spreadsheet and cut and paste your totals from week to week and track it that way.

Although I haven't been keeping a training long during my shoulder recovery/maintenance program, I generally always keep one. It helps you track progress. You don't have to remember all kinds of weights and repetitions, and you can spot weak points and make adjustments accordingly.
