Training Records
Keep a training log’s effort scale consistent from one week to the next
Make effort ratings in your training log comparable by using the same scale, timing and context, rather than treating every number as a universal measure.

Strength Practice
A Resistance Band Can Pull Harder Without Looking Heavier
Compare resistance-band exercises using the band, starting length and movement setup, rather than colour or appearance alone.
Training Fundamentals
The Lowering Phase of a Lift Still Belongs in Your Training Plan
Notice the lowering phase in a strength exercise, follow an appropriate tempo and avoid adding unfamiliar eccentric loading simply to make a workout harder.
Strength Session Planning
A Ramp-Up Set Prepares You for the Working Set Without Becoming Another Test
Use progressive preparation sets to rehearse a planned lift, with suitable loads and rest, before beginning the working sets in your training session.
Training Records
Log the Assistance on a Pull-Up Machine as Assistance
Record assisted pull-up settings clearly so less assistance is not mistaken for a lighter effort or compared directly with unrelated machines.
Training Notes
A Training Set’s Range of Motion Needs a Consistent Definition
Repetition counts become easier to compare when the movement range is recorded too. Keep exercise notes consistent without forcing an uncomfortable position.
Exercise Technique
Choose a Step Height You Can Control on the Way Down
Choose a step-up height that allows a planted foot and smooth, controlled movement, including the return to the floor.
Strength basics
A Landmine Press Changes the Bar’s Path, Not the Need for Stable Setup
Prepare a secure landmine attachment, clear movement space and manageable load before learning the angled pressing path.
Training Notes
Repetitions in Reserve Is an Estimate, Not a Promise About the Next Rep
Repetitions in reserve describes an estimate of remaining effort. Record it consistently without treating it as a guaranteed count.
