Weight Lifting Journal??

Featured Replies

Hey everyone, some of you have suggested that i try Wendler's 5/3/1 program, which i will be officially starting on monday next week. my only problem is, i'd like to have a weight lifting journal. It sounds easy, but i am SO unorganized on everything.

can anyone reccomend how i can put together my lifting journal, and make it look neat and organized? it will be SO much easier to use if its nicely organized. thanks again!

oh, i forgot to mention. my journal is basically going to be a three-ring binder with note paper in it. OSU!

Get a small spiral bound notebook and just jot down what you lift after you lift it. Here is a great website for 5/3/1:

I use a cheap daytime planner. If your into the smart phone's there are plenty of apps you can use as well.

All good advise. You could use a Composition notebook, or just a spiral notebook, and divide each page into 3 columns, and do one day per column. I just use a small spiral fat notebook, and jot my stuff down in there. The bigger notebook will allow you to compare your previous workouts easier, in more of a timeline manner.

Yeah, I think we are all kinda saying the same thing here. It doesn't have to be done with anything fancy, but it should be done religiously.

Agreed. When I can't find my journal, I'm so lost and irritated.
