If you are training, an exercise log should be as important to you as your running shoes, i-pod, and chalk. A well kept log can help you chart your success and will help you plan for future growth. This process does not have to be complicated or include meticulous spreadsheets or expensive computer programs. Grab a notebook and a pencil and get to it. Here are a few things you may want to jot down.Goals – Record what you would like to achieve in the training session. These should be based on notes from previous performances.
Actual Performance – Record the results after the session (time, weight, etc.)
Faults – Record any mistakes and thoughts on why the errors may have occurred.
Scale – Score your performance (from 1/poor to 10/good). This should be based on your overall performance relative to the predetermined goal, your feelings about the workout, mood before and after, and your focus (or distractibility).
You get the point.

Today's Workout: 1RM Overhead Squat
Today's Confession: I put a bottle of wine in the fridge to chill before I even went to work! I knew it was going to be a tough one.
