Default The Cost Of Non-Conformance

Quote:

Cost Of Non-Conformance

(CONC.) The element of the *Cost Of Quality* representing the total cost to the organisation of failure to achieve a good *Quality* product.

CONC includes both in-process costs generated by quality failures, particularly the cost of *Rework*; and post-delivery costs including further *Rework*, re-performance of lost work (for products used internally), possible loss of business, possible legal redress, and other potential costs.

Source


Good workout and nutrition plans do not, in and of themselves, make for impressive results. Especially when the lack of measurable standards leaves progress and results in question. Lack of progress sabotages your strength and mood, which causes more trouble. So, time to track a little more.

Measurable qualities/measurements
  1. Weight -- scale weight (weight isn't everything, but it's something)
  2. Body Fat -- Tanita scale (not accurate, or so I've always said)
  3. Measurements -- bigger, smaller, thinner, wider, etc. (indisputable)
  4. Mirror -- (subjective AND rarely accurate!)
  5. Energy -- subjective (ranked 1-10, 10 being best/feeling strong and energetic)
  6. Motivation -- subjective (ranked 1-10, 10 being best/feeling happy and raring to go)
Yes, some are subjective (fatigue and motivation), yet measurable in the sense that they can be rated. But, I've seen both qualities rise and fall, and my workouts and progress go good or bad at the same time. I noticed that Ogedei keeps daily track of his motivation/mood. (He's a smart man.)

I'll take regular status checks on these six aspects of my training and daily life.

My goal is to lose some fat. I loved the last two months of Kelly Baggett's No Bull plan, and plan to return to it. But, I will return leaner, so I'm happy with myself at both ends of the training cycle (end of bulk period and the end of the cut period).

I'm sticking with my "compliance chart." That's worked well for me.

Nutrition -- Adam's Diet

Workout -- EDT

Note: Leadership Through Quality was a long time ago, if my gibberish don't jive with the jargon, cut me some slack!

Edited to change "Fatigue" to "Energy." Ranking fatigue from 1-10 seemed too confusing.

good luck man! tracking and moving forward is key.

Remember how it motivated you to see a constant weight loss. It was great. You could easily see what you were doing was working.

Ah, I see you had a brainstorm and came up with the catchy log name.

Good idea, tracking all those parameters. I've been thinking along the lines of doing something similar myself. This is giving me some ideas.

Good luck!

You can also measure strength and/or endurance if you wanted to. Energy can be physical or mental (maybe you are using "energy" to mean physical energy and "motivaton" to mean mental energy).

I have an excellent article by Bill Phillips called "Energy, It's Everything." I scanned it out of MM2K years ago so I can't link it. I'd love to give it to you though. If you want it, pm me with an email address. Or tell me to post the whole thing somewhere.

I'm glad you're excited to get started with something new. Good luck with EDT.

Roland, if I may add another measurement.

Chances of success = 10.

Good luck, my friend.

Thanks everyone.

Lisa, I was thinking of energy as physical and motivation as mental, in this case.

I had more measurements, but I know I'll stop if I have too many things to keep track of.

I like that idea of rating your energy and motivation. I'm going to be starting a new log, would you mind if I did the same? I just wanted to get your "ok" before I showed up as a thief.

A little behind in my logging. Things are going well.

I didn't spell it out, but on some days, I take the "hardcore" advice of Alwyn Cosgrove and Staley, and do two short workouts, rather than one longer one.

This is monday's evening workout.

Zone 3, 46 reps
Hammer Curls, 25
RDL, 225

Zone 4, 60 reps
Fly, 20
DB Row (neutral grip), 50

Cardio, cycling 20 minutes

Cardio, 20 minutes cycling

Today

Zone 1, reps? Big mystery. Crap. I typed it in, but when I looked back, I had typed a typo. I have no idea. Something like 70, I think. Next week, I'm screwed.
Face Pull w/hammer grip,65
Elevated Pushups, alternating

Zone 2, 69 reps
Goblet Squat, 75lb goblet
Cable Crunch, 80

Cardio, 20 minutes

Zone 3, 80
DB Push Press, 40+
V-Grip Pulldown, 130+

Zone 4, 65
DB Snatch, 65+
Incline lateral raise, 10+

The little pluses mean to bump it up a notch. I aimed too low, although, it was quite a workout.

Cardio, 20 minutes

Care to explain what these zones mean? Is that EDT or what?

A link would be appreciated.
