How to Track Your Workouts Without Overcomplicating It

Most people either track nothing, or they track so much detail they quit within two weeks. There's a middle ground that actually works.

You need four numbers per lift: exercise, sets, reps, load. That's it. Not rest timers, not tempo notation, not a spreadsheet with twelve tabs. Four numbers, written down, every session.

The reason this matters isn't nostalgia — it's progression. If you don't know what you lifted last time, you can't tell if you're actually getting stronger or just going through the motions. A log turns "I think I'm improving" into "I added five pounds this month."

Add sleep hours and one mobility note if you want a fuller picture, but don't let the tracker become a second job. The goal is data you'll actually keep, not a perfect system you abandon.

The daily training pages inside RESET 90 are built around exactly this minimum.
