Keeping Records


As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes:

7 body weight deadlifts
7 jumping squats with empty bar
7 weighted push ups
7 weighted pull ups
When you work out here I record your time, weights lifted, etc. It is very important to keep some kind of journal of your workouts. Often from day to day or week to week you do not see significant changes and it is very valuable to have a record of what you were doing 6 months or a year ago. For instance, one year ago I could not do a single pull up. Now, I can do 12. One year ago my max deadlift was 135#, now it is 215#. It can be difficult to see progress if it isn't measured. Seeing progress is encouraging and reinforces your goal and desire to be more fit. It is also valuable to look back and see just how many days you worked out!
