Why Use a Training Log?

I have always kept a log since CrossFitting. Originally in notepads or printouts of various WODs, but now online "beyond the whiteboard". (notepads always got sweaty and sometimes my writing is hard to read especially shaking after a WOD) Great site to enter goals, food, even tracks your PR's for you on previously performed WODs and or compares similar lifts. Definitely a valuable tool if you're serious about fitness.

I use 21-15-9.com and love it.

If we are throwing out sites we like. We use: http://www.beyondthewhiteboard.com/

I am working my way through the Novice Starting Strength progression and like the tracking there. Big fan.

We are a bit old school. Something about keeping a book, to have on hand, works for me!
That said, we have always had our people keep binders. Cody created sheets for daily WODS, and PR's Sheets for a special section in the binders. Works great!
If you would like a copy of the templates, let me know!

WODbooks! They're the best. www.sport-journals.com - customized for your gym.

On page 5, under the heading of Planning, there is a typo - goats, instead of - goals.
Other than that, thank you for another fantastic and motivating article.

I would love a copy of your templates. You can email them to kevin@wildcatcrossfit.com

Thanks!!!

I have kept a detailed log in a spreadsheet since I started following Crossfit. I have used it to figure out what contributed to injuries and it's always nice to be able to type that capital "P" and "R" when I set a new personal record. Keeping a detailed log is good advice for anyone that's serious about their workouts.

Cody, can I get a copy of your templates? Email is avereen@gmail.com. Thanks in advance. Love the article, too!

Cody, I too would love a copy of your templates - framism@gmail.com - many thanks!

Great article, thanks! We're using Logsitall (www.logsitall.com) for our kid's program. Ton's of flexibility (the developer is very accessible) and using an ipad/iphone makes it really easy on the fly for both us and the kids.

Paper is great for ease of use initially but the quick and in depth analysis afforded by databasing is huge. Striking the balance between "real paper" ease of use/intuitiveness and DB analysis/action drivers is clutch. There's a lot of really cool things going on in this space. Crossfitters can get a ton of value in regards to increasing work output and seeing trends in their training. Excited to see how things evolve and how that affects athletes!
