The Log is a training tool with undeniable advantages: adapted to all training methods; makes it easy to monitor training; helps to maintain motivation and interest; is training and results oriented; a complete analytical tool for fitness/exercise instructors, personal coaches, physical education teachers and strength conditioning coaches; and it slips easily into a gym bag!

This review is from: The Weider Weight Training Log (Paperback)

Well, i purchased this workout log hoping it would help me keep track of my workouts, instead i ended up returning it. There were a few things about this log that i couldnt live with. The spaces for you to record your weights and sets were incredibly small. I dont know how anyone could write in these spaces, they are about the size of a fingernail. Also, i dont workout everyday but 3-4 times a week. The log has each day listed by name, monday, tuesday, etc. Well, what if i workout out on monday and wednesday? Nothing gets filled in on tuesday and i end up losing a page. Instead they should have a space where you can fill in the date and day of your workout so that you can utilize each page of the book. I do not recomend this log. I returned mine. Very low quality.

I had no problem writing the sets and reps in the squares. The first time I used this book i thought to my self that im also wasting a page on my off days but I thought it would be helpful to my workouts to know when my days of were.The 3rd edition wasnt out yet so I had to buy a cheaper smaller one from golds gym..the problem is that there werent enough smaller squares to record all my info. I reeeally like this book.I give it 4 stars.
