Look at my very first training journal (cir. 1994)
By Elliott | October 9, 2008
I did some digging through my old junk and came across my old training journals from high school, this was way back in 1994… I was only 14 years old!
If you are not keeping a training journal, start one NOW! It’s the best way to ensure increased intensity over time as well as a great way to motivate yourself based on improvements.
My Strength Camp athletes and those who are training with my Football Strength System understand the importance of a training journal.
You’re gonna love this video!
Do you keep a training journal?
Tell me what your very first Bench Press was? - haha!

I remember when I was 14. I had not even bench pressed 100 lbs yet! I was 6′0 115 lbs!

As Salamu alaykum Elliot. Which means May the peace and mercy of God be upon you.
I always press upon my athletes and clients that what gets measured get improved.
I started with my first training log around the same time, however, I was just going into the Marine Corps.
Keep up the great work. You inspire me to take action.

It’s pretty funny to see this post today. Last night I was looking back at my running log from last summer. I ran 2 miles, walked 1 mile, then ran 2 more all at 9:30 min/mile pace. I remarked that I was “very nervous” about my 7 mile run that weekend. Now an easy day is 8 miles at 8:30 min/mile pace. I’ve come a long way in just over a year but I still have a long way to go.
I think it’s easy to get caught up in short term fluctuations in ability, or get discouraged by a bad workout here and there. It’s definitely helpful to look back at where long term, consistent training has brought you…no matter what you’re training for.

My frist logged bench press was June 2003.. 165lbs and it was all I had to get it up. My BW was 315lbs and I was sitting around 42% BF
6 months later I was at a 315LB bench press at 265lbs, 28-30%. Just a little bit of lower carb dieting, cardio and newbie gains.
