Form/execution are a form of progressive overload (this video covers mainly the quantitative variables you can track on paper).

More than just standardizing form, be sure your form doesn’t regress in direct relation to your “on paper” progression.

And also realize numbers can stall and form can progress for a period of time. That is progressive overload.

First and foremost the logbook is for you. And for tracking THE most important variable of any program: progressive overload. There are really no “rules”. So take the examples as guidelines and adjust to better fit your needs. And find a method you’re most likely to adhere to.

Personally I just track working sets

I always track/write down the number of reps I did with ZERO assistance

Immediately following working sets, I write my “loose plan” for next session (in the notes)

I always write in my notes “fractional” and non-quantitative progress

Always chose the smallest percentage progression possible. (Much more sustainable). This is almost always a move up in weight, often “micro progression” as opposed to move up in reps. (Not as large a margin for high rep sets)

Working from “bottom to the top” of a rep range is also a fine method. Can be tougher long term and with lighter weights.

At the beginning of the session, look through the numbers and plan/adjust the session accordingly.
I’d rather “be conservative” and overshoot reps rather than overestimate a load and drop out of a rep range.

Your Free Leg Workout

The Anti-Flamingo

This is an intermediate to advanced program with a lower body focus. If you want some BIG A$$ legs…this program is for you. Not just big quads, but huge glorious glutes, hanging hams, and colossal calves…I got you! There are two separate lower body days, one with more quad focus, the other with more posterior chain focus. This program is also one of my favorite styles of programs, as I would consider it a push, pull, lower hybrid. Keeping the focus on big “meat and potatoes”, “logbooked” movement’s…while progressing to some brutally dense bodybuilding style volume towards the end of the program. You want to never fit into your current pants again, this is your program.

Your Free Push Workout

Push Pull Lower

This is possibly one of my favorite programs. This is a nice translation for those moving from intermediate to advanced. And provides a great “hybrid” of a transitional strength and bodybuilding program. Although the program progresses to a fairly advanced level, I could argue it could still be great for beginners, because a lot of people find this split enjoyable. If you want a very balanced program to get you HUGE, this is one of the best.

Here are your workout videos
