Blank training log page
Cassandra just reminded me that I promised to provide a downloadable training log page to a website. Unfortunately, the file is too big to upload to this forum.
So if you'd like a sample training log page, please email me and I'll reply as soon as I can with the attachment. |

Lou, your new website for the book is nearly done, and we will put it up as a downloadable file from there if you like. Email Greg when you get a chance.

Hey Sassy. The site is now up at The New Rules of Lifting which has the blank logs for both NROL and NROL4W.
Thanks! |

Good work you three. A quick perusal shows all the links working.

Hey, since this is brought up...
I make the logs for our (Otto's and mine) workouts, preprinted with the workouts... I've done if for most of our workouts from other stuff, and I'll be doing so for NR4W... I was wondering if there would be any objections to me sharing these with people here who have bought the book and may want them?

Mahler does, but he makes sure that the people own the book (or at least checked it out of the library and don't owe a late fee).

Aoife, I was going to do the same thing. So, I'd be interested in them. You'd save me the work!

I make them in books. Hand bound. Otto prefers his loose-leaf in binders he can archive, I prefer books.
Anyway, the files are usually in .pdf from "painstakingly made" illustrator. And if I could get InDesign working it'd be a multi-page pdf, but right now it's just single pdfs (1/workout day)
We're building a site for our other, more generic and non-workout stuff, but my first goal way back when was to have a simple blank log page for a workout that was actually useful, for a planner. Everything I could find was either "ran for 20 minutes" kind of stuff or expected that your "workout" was a couple exercises in which all your sets/weights/reps were the same... you know... 15x3 of bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, leg extensions, leg curls, and crunches.

Aoife,
If you need a couple of them combined into one PDF document, let me know. Assuming they aren't too big to email, combining them with Acrobat is pretty speedy. |

The hand-bound book sounds interesting. But, I'm with Otto. I put everything into 3-ring binders. I love those things!

Heh, I might. I think Otto can do it, but I don't really remember. We just print them out here, so it's not useful to keep in one big file, actually. But if I can't do it here I'll ring ya if other's want them. It's easier to do a whole fatloss set or whatnot.
I'm about to make me a book for HELL. I SOOOO wish I could find paper for the cover that was a skull and pink cross weights (instead of crossbones) but alas, it's like papermakers don't think of these things...

Would this help the newbie dilemna of exactly what do the schedules mean? If so it sounds great.
Aoife, I read my son your book cover plans-the skull and pink dumbell crossbones. Assuming your color scheme is black and hot pink, he thinks you are the the most awesomely cool person ever!

I find it immensely helpful to chart out each workout program in an excel spreadsheet. I take it to the gym with me and jot down all of my weight/reps/notes. This way, the next time I know where to increase/decrease or what have you.
I make a new spreadsheet for each program. I like to see the whole program from start to finish on one spreadsheet. |

It's a shark hat I tried on at Shark Reef (or whatever it's called) in Vegas (at Mandalay Bay). I didn't want to buy the thing (it was $25), but I wanted a pic of it. Better than buying. You can't always guarantee you look *purposefully* goofy in something all the time, but you can for the length of a snapshot.

I made a separate spreadsheet for each of the TNT workouts I'm doing now. Each morning, I just grab the next sheet, it's already set up with all the info I need regarding the workout | |
