So, how many people actually use their workout trackers? or, better yet, how many people see someone whos physique they respect and say, hmm thats kinda what i wanna look like, I think I’m gunna look at their workout tracker to see what they do?? I’m pretty sure the answer is no. And here’s why I think it is (feel free to respond to this in the comments, bb.com developers, pay attention!):
1. Its misleading with your progress! First off, as far as set, rep, and volume numbers go, a leg day is on the same page as an arm day. I don’t think I know anyone who does near as much volume on an arm day as someone does on a leg day with leg presses or squats. As far as I know, theres no way to seperate these out so that you can track only volume on leg days or something.
2. If you want to look at an old exercise, or at someone else’s past exercises, you have to view them one at a time, and its like a three step process to get to them! By time you get to the next days workout that you’re reviewing, you forget what happened in the one you just looked at.
3. Too little variability! How do you enter drop sets? what about 21s? If you’re doing 1 armed curls, do you put in the weight as if you were doing it with both hands or one? If you do negatives, you can do them much heavier than a positive rep, yet there’s no way to specify, so it throws off your PRs and all your other tracking.
Anyways, that’s why I stopped using workout tracker. If anyone wishes for me to re-continue my workout tracker, please let me know and I will be happy to. If you would like to use this blog as a complaint board, also feel free! PEACE!
