Dear Friend,
"What You Did or Why You Did Not"
Do you use a training diary with yourself or your clients? If not, why? If you think you can remember your weights from the last session - and don't need to write it down - I will claim you are wrong. You might approximately remember what you did, but that is not enough. Sometimes, the right way to progress is to perform 1-2 reps more. Not per set, but per exercise If you are performing 5 sets of 3-5 reps and managed 5,5,4,3,3 reps on Monday with a given load, then adding two reps TOTAL on Thursday,(for example 5,5,5,4,3) is a 10 % improvement in one workout - HUGE! If you do not remember the EXACT amount of reps performed in your previous session, you don't know which number to improve upon. That's a problem, because having an SPECIFIC goal with regard to number of reps, can focus you like nothing else. So, your training diary should include "what you did or why you didn't". What do I mean by that? Stay tuned for Thursday's High Performance Training Tip Karsten Jensen P.S.: Log on to www.yestostrength.com every Wednesday to catch my latest blog entry.
