4.0 out of 5 stars Lift Log:Diary and Guide for Strength Training, May 25, 2000

I think this is an excellent book to carry around the gym as you work out. It has a bit of warm-up and stretching exercises, nutrition, anatomy, and basic suggestions for organizing workouts, and how to use the book. There are also worksheets for body measurements and progressions. The diary itself is set up very simply to allow you to keep track in your own way. The only negative thing that I can see is the pictures of the women -- they are more like "cheesecake" than actual bodybuilders. I can't believe that anyone could lift weights in a thong!

This review is from: Liftlog (Spiral-bound)

I have used this same journal for five years now - this will bemy fourth copy, and my first time to order it from ...(the website). I have found it very helpful in keeping track of my regimen and my progress. It has a very simple format and is small enough to be inconspicuous in the weight room. There is ample room for notes. The format is not too restricting, which allows flexibility with what I am doing - not conforming me to what the journal expects of me. I like this feature a lot. The pictures in the book are motivating, but I largely ignore them. I know my own goals and the book helps me move towards those. I would highly recommend this book for anyone looking for a simple way of keeping track of strength and body building progress.
