The Muscle and Might Training Tracker - Stuart McRobert

The training tracker assumes a reasonable level of knowledge of weight training. It lists sample exercise programs, but provides no information on correct technique for performing these exercises. Nonetheless, it does offer good advice on training muscle groups to avoid over training. It also provides a fair amount of detail on how to use the training diary effectively and provides an excellent rationale for its use. There is also a section that allows the user to monitor their diet (Calories and protein), sleep, weight and waistline on a weekly basis.

In the section on developing a total exercise program it emphasises the need to balance the weight training with cardiorespiratory work and stretching, and then provides no chart to effectively monitor these facets of training. There is space at the back for notes which could be used, but such an important part of a balanced program needs an effective means of tracking progress. For the older weight trainer such as myself it offers some very good advice on suitable cardio exercise routines with particular emphasis on how to avoid wear-and-tear chronic injuries.

Overall, the book provides an excellent means of tracking progress for those who need a little order and discipline to see results (I think that covers most of us!). The absence of a means to monitor cardio workouts is the only shortcoming in an otherwise excellent training diary. Worth getting!
