Product Description:
Progress depends on information. It is critical that every serious trainee keeps accurate, detailed, and up-to-date records of all training activities. The Basic Barbell Training Log can be the most important source of data for the overall effectiveness of the training program. Detailed information regarding an individual's response to the various parameters of a training program makes the programming of training a manageable task. The detailed training history provided by a properly-kept training log provides both trainee and coach with the necessary information to select appropriate weight or repetition changes between workouts. It helps determine whether a particular training organization is useful in achieving training goals, and it reveals trends in training and schedule compliance, both of which having a definite bearing on progress. A log should also include the trainee s subjective impressions of the quality of the work done in the training session and any other information that might later serve a purpose. Serious trainees include notes about sleep, diet, and other information pertinent to recovery. Every detail surrounding training and recovery has the potential to be important for progress; the more serious you are, the more detailed your training log should be.

- Clean, accessible, exactly what you need
An ideal logbook to use alongside the Starting Strength program. Do the lifts, write them in the book - track progress, get stronger, live happily ever after. Enough said!

Rating:

- Shoddy product
I really liked Rippetoe's instructional writing, and I am always looking for a good workout log, so I thought I would give this a try. It proved to be a waste of money. This log is actually inferior to the basic composition book Rippetoe & Kilgore recommend in Practical Programming (p. 181), and does not follow the format that they recommend as "the best way to log workouts" (p. 180). It's odd that authors who pride themselves on being honest and telling the simple truth would bring out such a shoddy product. Almost any other workout log is better than this one, but my favorite remains Stewart McRobert's The Muscle & Might Training Tracker, though this has become hard to find. At any rate, although I recommend Rippetoe & Kilgore's Practical Programming for Strength Training and highly recommend their Starting Strength (2nd edition), this workout log is a shoddy product.
