Geez if you are sophisticated enough to do all things online and with spread sheets that is cool.
Charlie was old school.
He did strongly encourage me to write stuff down as a tool for improvement and self reflection regarding my training.
I am so glad I listened and took the time to do this.
I have several of my training diaries and I love looking through them and back on them.
One thought I might recommend to anyone who trains and is interested in improving is to just start as simple as you can.
I used an office supply lined blank book ( black) and bought a few so my diaries would be uniform. Over time I decorated the outside with what ever I wanted as I was using these books often through my day. Of the several books I have each is different on the outside cover and the progression of my time spent training is interesting to look back on especially now.
As time went on I preferred grid paper as I am left handed and didn’t like having books with bulky spines which made writing difficult for me.
If you write workouts out you can glue them later into your journal as well or anything else you enjoy that makes the process interesting especially over time.
AS much as I love technology and as much as I admire people who are very digitally organized I will not ever give up paper and pens as I adore using both…
