Training journal

[Flowanne]

I think you've seen in your gym people, constantly scurrying back and forth with a pencil and a notebook. This are not the students who are asked athletes to write all the names of trainers and even students, writing coursework "how to build muscle." It's just ordinary people, coming up responsibly to his training process and lead something "Philistines notes" on "why I came into the gym, what I’ll do today." The common people called what they are doing - training journal.

So what types of training journals do you know? What rules does exist for them? How to fill it correct?

I'm a huge believer in training journals. I kind of don't see a point in working out / training without one. After all if your going to the gym the point should be improving.
My training journal may include anything that could affect my workout and my workout. I would have a separate journal for nutrition / food and another for any anabolics I may be on. Sometimes combining the training and nutrition journal.
Anyway...
My training journal would look like this...
Start of Heavy-duty Training (or 5x5 or whatever)
Date
(I don't log my warm up just work sets)
Exercise - weight x reps
If I did 3 negatives after my regular reps it would look like=

weight x reps + 3n

Or 3f for 3 forced reps

You get the point. The idea is to know where I'm at so I can beat it in my next workout (weight or reps) whatever the goal.

Then at the end of my workout I will include any important notes, pains, lack of intensity, whatever.

Sometimes at the beginning I'll put if I'm sick, time of day, or anything special like pre & intra workout supplements and body weight.
I hope this is what you were asking and answered your question

Iron-game, thank you very much. I feel in your answers a friendly care.

I’ve made a personal conclusion. If you do not want to be an amoebic athlete and do not want to go into the gym as a mechanical robot, then keep a training journal. This systematic approach to training, it's progress and most importantly - cherished key to the casket called "relief my body." :bber:
