Direct answer: Register exercise, equipment, load, repetitions, and effort. Note adjustment or execution changes that affect the comparison. In the application follow-up, this history helps to evaluate progress and guide specific adjustments.
What to write down in each session
Identify the machine or variation and register the work sets. If you use dumbbells, make it clear if the value is per dumbbell. Separate heating and note the order when it has changed. These details avoid interpreting how it improves a change of equipment or pattern.
Compare similar situations
The number of one machine is not equivalent to the number of another machine. It is also not correct to compare a short repetition with a wider one only by load. Use the history to observe performance with conditions that can be repeated and describe important differences.
Transform data into conversation
If you do not complete what is expected, tell the reason and send video when necessary. The application organizes data, but the report explains difficulties. A sets interrupted by pain requires different attention from a sets that ended by the planned effort.
What to record and discuss
- Set whether the registered load is total or per side.
- Separate heating and work.
- Write down the reason for interrupted exchanges or sets.
