A workout page is a record, not a coach. Seventy-two of them run through the book, one for each session, with room for what was done, how it felt, and what to check on next time. Nothing on the page tells you what to do; it only holds what you did.
Eight reflection pages sit apart from the log, for reading a run of sessions back once there is enough of a pattern to see: what improved, what stalled, what changed outside the gym that changed the numbers too. Nine ruled pages hold whatever a workout page cannot: an appointment, an injury note, a question for whoever is actually qualified to answer it.
The book prescribes no training. There is no rep scheme printed here presented as guidance, no programme to follow, because a printed page cannot see your joints, your history or the load you carried yesterday. It gives you somewhere to write down a programme set by someone qualified to see you, not by a printed page that cannot.

Questions
What goes on a workout page?
What was done that session, how it felt, and what to check on next time.
How big is it?
A5, 148 x 210 mm, 100 pages, 5.72 mm across the spine.
Is it dated?
No. It starts on session one, whenever that is, and a week off does not leave a dated page blank.
Does it include a training programme?
No. There is no rep scheme and no prescribed programme. What you did is recorded here; what you should do is a question for someone qualified to see you.
What are the reflection pages for?
Reading a run of sessions back, kept apart from the page where each one was logged.
I have always endeavored to acquire strict business habits; they are indispensable to every man.
