thanks dude it's short and to the point...this is what i need when I'm looking for information
Glad you enjoyed the video!
This is so useful indeed! I even write notes about my recovery/health aspects like sleep, quality of sleep, energy, if i took any form of supplements, etc..
hey. bro this was insane it was short and concise yet very informative thanks for the video!
very helpful!
Great video!
Great info, thanks for the content. Tracking is fundamental to know how your doing but I find it hard to keep notebooks with the information of each training because it can get hard to compare specific things through time. I'm starting to use a free App called training tracker that lets me compare how I'm progressing through the mesocycles. I already bring the phone to the gym anyways.
Lots of fitness “Junk” on RUclips this isn’t that. Everyone that wants to maintain fitness overtime should keep a fitness journal. Mine includes, Max Heart Rate, Heart Rate Ranges, Max Rep, Max Weight, BMI, body weight, and body fat. Every month I will recalculate these. For example, max rep, max weight for strength goals. For each week I follow the FITT principle (Frequency, Intensity, Time, and Type). Workouts for strength annotate reps and sets along with weight used. Notes at the bottom are about the workout how it felt, whether reps, set, and weight goals were hit or exceeded. Add a food journal or log is also useful that stays in the kitchen. Benefit is seeing progress or pitfalls, organization of workouts and fitness goals, prevent injury, make it easier to communicate with your doctors/coaches/trainers/nutritionist or whoever as needed. Also, aids in Progress overload not reaching a Plateau in your workouts. Every week you should examine the past month with FITT in mind. Lastly, for some putting down or knowing their body weight plays tricks on the mind. Don’t be fooled, play the long game, focus on gradual steady increases and changes that challenge you.
Well made!
Thanks. Appreciate the compliment. Let me know if you have any questions/ideas for future videos.
What notebook is that?
Personal trainer log info yes week to week month to month
Something else you can think about.
Keep a journal, but also keep an excel workbook that organized info for long term data.
There are a ton of apps yes, but alot of them don’t allow for your own creativity in how you want to record your data.
This also helps because you can keep many exercises per muscle groups and detailed comments notes.
Lastly you can write out how you wanna do your workout before you even go to the gym so you keep yourself accountable to the workout you built before, and what weights you used on those specific exercises.
Example seated bicep curl, last time you did this exercise you could comfortably do 45x12 seated on the first set, maybe it’s time to push your comfort zone to 47.5 or 50x8 (especially if in excel you record “date of last increase”.
Thats a great idea too!
