Weight Lifting Progress Chart

Well, you do want to get the body of your dreams, right? In order to
get that body, you need to build muscle and lose fat. In order to build
muscle, you need to focus on getting stronger in the muscle building
rep ranges. A weightlifting progress chart will help you focus on getting stronger and therefore help you build that body you picture in your dreams! The progress chart I provide for free download on this page provides you with the option to include up to 30 different exercises in your chart. You will want to enter the date of the lift, the weight you lifted, and the number of reps for the exercise you are entering. The 1 Rep Max calculation will be done, and you can use this number as an estimate of the progress you are making. Every time you perform a lift, enter the date, weight lifted, and reps completed. You will get a new 1 rep max calculation in the chart that you can compare with your last lift. You should strive to always improve that 1 rep max calculation. I never perform actual 1 rep maxes because I do not train for strength alone. I lift weights to build muscle and get stronger in the approximate rep ranges of 4 to 15 reps. |
This approximate rep range of 4 to 15 reps will help you build
a better looking and a stronger body.
The 1 rep max calculation is only an estimate, but you should always
use that calculation as a measure of your progress on each exercise.
Strive to improve that number each and every workout!
