I have seen a gain in almost every weight so far that is far more significant than any other magazine workout plan I have done. I love how the workouts are simple and is focused on building you up evenly. Also the insane amount of super-sets and short rest time that other workouts have you do just would burn me out in no time with little to show for it. They never seemed to be 100% their was always something lacking whether it was legs, back, or what have you. I have lifted on and off for years and have tried almost anything. In summary, I really like this journal because it holds you accountable, the workouts are consistent, and you can ensure you are progressing with your lifts. Consistently doing these exercises helped me get much better at these lifts and helped me push more weight just from improving my form alone. Keep in mind I've been working out already for 4 years straight, so no newbie gains here :)Īs far as the squat and deadlift goes, a lot of the progress can be attributed to my form getting a lot better (plus I took it a bit easier at the beginning to get used to the lifts). I had been lacking pretty badly on my squats and deadlifts and I'm happy to say that I'm doing a lot better now. I have been using this journal for about 6 months now and I've made considerable progress on my lifts. Even though this workout journal keeps the same X number of exercises, it's awesome to watch yourself get better at those lifts and you can hold yourself accountable for getting better with this journal. The previous workout routines I've done kept switching the exercises around and I wasn't keeping track of how much weight I was lifting. Having a workout plan already written down makes it very easy to stick with your workout routine and track your progress.

It has one purpose, to show you the exercises you need to do each workout, and give you a place to record it. Michael Matthews put a lot of thought into this log, based on his extensive experience in the gym. Just take it to the gym,ĭo what it says, and build strength up faster than anyone else there. Day by day the list of exercises to do and a place to record them in an easy to use format. This is the best body building methodology I could find, recommended by multiple men's health sources, and this accessory workout log book is EXACTLY what I wanted. I just want to be stronger, healther, and look better, and I got help from the best, and I don't give a hoot what other people in the gym think when they see this book in my hands and see me referring to it and writing in it. I couldn't care less about any of that crud. The cover is not embarrassing unless you want to fool people into thinking you created your own routine because you are a genius. This book is EXACTLY the right size to use IN THE GYM to record your workouts as you go.Ĥ. This book is EXACTLY the right size to use IN THE GYM to record your workouts as you go.ģ.

I read some of the other reviews, and developed someĪpprehension after I ordered the book. I can't believe how lucky I am to have this book! It is EXACTLY what I needed.
