Hoofy said: Don't you have a smart phone... or notebook? I wouldn't train without one... but then I always get obsessive about something I'm doing. And if you have a smartphone, you could run a HIIT app.  I never take it to the gym. Id end up messing with it to much between sets.

 You should be busy regaining your breath, repairing broken blisters/callouses and summoning the energy for the next set/exercise.

Phftttt, wimps- I have so little rest, I do my next set before I finish the previous one.

Deadlifts... then while you're holding it, might as well do hang cleans... then while it's up there, shoulder presses, then work the triceps while it's above you, then into overhead squats then a few burpees. All with 80% 1RM deadlift weight.  Mind you, if you reduce the weight a little, it's an interesting barbell workout.

I am a traditional pen and paper notebook for my stuff, along with my stopwatch for rounds/HIIT/circuit work.
However I wanna do more stuff and being the new owner of a smartphone (never had one before I love it) I have gotten a few apps. Gymboss is one and I used it today for my TRX circuit, time intervals etc. It was ace.
It'll be an addiction to my pad/watch not a replacement and will fit in well with some of the tabata stuff I wanna do.

I personally think there is a lot of value in logging progress over time. I usually just remember in the gym and then write it down at home.
I did legs tonight and managed 200kg squat for 5 1/2 (last rep assisted) which is pretty good as I've not been strength training for sometime.
My break has been great for me in recharging my batteries as I was quite worn out from nearly 18 months of training without a break.
So who is going to post results on the 1st? Pics and/or stats.

(for those that remember her marathon even and she started training 3 days before the 24 mile run lol!) So I'm saying you're like Jade Goody but do n't wear dresses....

Not yet, I'm going to a festival at the start of next month (Bestival) and then holiday in Turkey for a couple of weeks so I'm going to wait before giving it a full effort run for say 6 months. I may start it in October or at the start of next year, I'm undecided as I may slim right down until Christmas then hit it hard in the early part of next year. Lee

Logging everything is quite important I think- excellent gauge of progress. I've got a detailed log of every session I've done in the last 2 and a bit years on another site (Sugden Barbell). Good to look back and see how you've improved, also to see trends in what works and what doesn't.

Good to look back and see how you've improved, also to see trends in what works and what doesn't. That reminds me. Around January when I was slowly healing from buggering my shoulder, the shoulder press machine was set at "7" and that was touch and go. Last week, I managed "11". This week, I thought I'd push my luck... managed "13"! (Before any of you say it, I do db shoulder press mostly but wanted to see how much I could manage with the machine.)
