Workout log printable for strength training, PRs and progressive overload
Plan your split, write down every set and watch your lifts climb, one steady week at a time.
Overview
This workout log printable is built for strength training: map out your split, record each set and see your numbers rise week after week. The 12 undated pages cover training goals, a detailed log and a compact log, personal records, progressive overload and recovery. You get a PDF in US Letter and A4 as an instant download.
Pounds or kilograms, commercial gym or garage setup, it fits the way you train.
How this workout log printable helps you get stronger
Lay out the week on a split planner, then note weight, reps and RPE for every set of as many as six exercises in a single session. Your 1, 3 and 5 rep maxes sit together in one PR table. The progressive overload page follows a single lift across 10 weeks, so you can tell when it is time to load a little more.
A 12 week color-in chart and a recovery check-in for soreness, sleep and energy keep you consistent without pushing too hard.
Who this lifting log is for
- Beginners learning the main lifts who want to see steady gains in writing
- Experienced lifters starting a fresh program or going after new PRs
- Women lifting weights at a gym or in a home gym
- Anyone who would rather carry a clipboard than tap through a fitness app
Design and printing
- Minimal white layouts with blush pink accents that barely use any ink
- Generous margins, so home printers will not crop the edges
- Two portrait sizes: US Letter (8.5 x 11 in) and A4 (210 x 297 mm)
- No dates, works in pounds or kilograms, and any week can be your first
- Keep it in a binder or on a clipboard, or have a print shop spiral bind it
