Progress Journals & Experimental Routines / Re: A Journey to Running Fast and Jumping High
« on: September 24, 2012, 12:25:14 pm »Not too bad. Everyone has their own thing. As long as it's somewhat organized. Your other posts looked a little too heavy on the banter before going into the workout description. Be very brief and precise when you're mentioning things like fatigue and stuff. Not sure what you would mean by rating the workout, but if that's your thing I guess.
+100. the thing you laid out looks fine but i think it'd help you to have a stricter template than that. go look at the way some other people organize their "workout done" sections: adarq's method is the archetype but people find the variation that works for them. dreyth's is good, mine is good, vag's is good.
people on here want to help you and give you advice, myself included, but sometimes it's difficult to understand what you're asking. you're in here putting in work and that's great, but speaking for myself, i don't respond because i'm often not sure what you're talking about. part of that is the language thing, of course, but we can work around that if you just try painfully hard to be clear.
here's one example of a way to organize your workout posts:
Quote
DATE
WEIGHT
RATING FOR CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM (CNS) STATUS (just a way to summarize what you meant by "sleep, fatigue, motivation")
WORKOUT:
- WARM UP
- EXERCISE 1 (sets x reps x weight/distance/height)
- EXERCISE 2 (sets x reps x weight/distance/height)
etc....
- COOL DOWN
- STRETCH

that would allow you and us to look at things in a consistent way and more easily make comparisons from day to day. also, you really need to time yourself with a stopwatch. the mississippi method is not a good substitute.
