What's on the page

How to use it

  1. Write the date and type of session (for example push, pull, legs or full body).
  2. List each exercise, then record weight x reps in each set box, such as 60 x 8.
  3. Use the notes column for rest times, tempo or how hard the last set felt.
  4. Before your next session, look at the last sheet for the same workout and aim to add a rep or a little weight. This is progressive overload, and a paper log makes it easy to see.
  5. Keep the sheets in a folder or clipboard in your gym bag.

Who it's for

Anyone lifting weights or doing bodyweight training who wants to see progress over weeks, from beginners following a programme to people who prefer paper to a phone app in the gym.
