This week we ran into a problem at the gym. Actually, it’s a pretty on going problem.
The scenario goes something like this….
Let me preface this with if you’re new and you legitimately don’t know, I’m not talking to you. 😉 This is for people who should know what they’re doing. Without further adieu….
We give out a percentage of weight to use for a lift, or we recommend you start with a certain lift, and the next question that comes out to us is, ‘What weight should I lift?’ Well, my response is, ‘Do you have a max? If so, use the posted percentage. If you don’t have a max what did you lift last time.’ This is usually followed by one of two responses, ‘I don’t know what my max is.’ or ‘I didn’t write it down last time.’
Do you know how frustrated that makes me? This program is predicated on progression. That means we build the program around your progress. Your progress is based on what you’ve done in the past. We CAN NOT serve you well and get you the results you want if you don’t document what you’ve done. If that’s the case then we’re just guessing, and when we’re guessing, you may get better, you may not.
I’m not trying to be a hard ass here, but it is paramount/ critical, that you write down what you do. I don’t care how you document it. You can use an app on your phone. You can write it in a note on your phone. (that’s what I do). You can write it in the custom journals that we had made for CFB. (ask a coach to show you these, they’re awesome!) You can text it to your virtual assistant and have them write it down for you…..
I don’t care how you document it, just document it.
Please please please, help me help you get results. In order to get the full effect of this program you need to write it down.
