For the people asking earlier about keeping an excel lift record:
Lift Record
This is the spreadsheet I've been using to keep track of my lifts. It's a modified version of the one from Stronglifts that just has the basic information.
It contains a bunch of formulas that auto update the whole row. It can be copy and pasted over and over again if you grab the monthly block.
The parts that need to be updated before it works are:
-the first three dates of the month you'll be working on out (the rest will auto populate)
-the initial value of the lift you are on for each lift (the rest will auto populate)
This record is set to raise by 5 pounds per lift but you can alter it by altering X inside of the formula.
=B3+IF(LBKG=1,2.5,IF(LBKG=2,X,0))
For overhead press you can set X = 2.5 if you are only progressing by 2.5 pounds per workout.
I've been doing a simple green, yellow, red highlight to keep track of the action.
Green - Successful lift, advance weight
Yellow - Unsuccessful lift, try weight again
Red - Unsuccessful lift, Deload weight
Hope that helps.
