Online log?

[kerrypolka]

I'm looking for an online weight lifting log that will let me enter what I've done, eg "Bicep curls, 3 sets of 8 reps, 6kg weights" and:

track my improvement

give me encouraging stats like, "Congratulations, that's 35% more than you could lift when you started!" and "Great job - that's 15% of your bodyweight!"

Does such a thing exist? I want to start keeping a log, but I lose paper all over the place and if I start a paper journal I won't keep it up. An Android app would also work, but I'd prefer online!

I do not know if any existing thing, but I would not be surprised to find that one exists.

I've been keeping stats in a Google doc spreadsheet. For lifting I'm only logging what I lift each time and not comparing it to previous lifts, but it would be pretty easy to track improvement -- you'd just need to put in an equation that calls up your current lift and divide it by the lift you want to compare it to. (Your first lift, your lift from your last workout, whatever.) Or have an equation that divides your lifts by your body-weight if you want to track that.

I keep mine in a Scrivener project. *g*

Great for organizing multiple files, and for my rather haphazard style of exercising. So I've got one file logging daily activities (I just scroll back if I want to compare previous workouts), a file listing exercises I can do at home, a file with some tentative strength goals listed against where I'm currently at with each of them, a file listing things I want to learn, a file with my climbing grade pyramid, and so forth.

I never thought of that. I have a crazy log in Excel with multiple worksheets. I'm going to have to think of scrivener, though, because it is fantastic. (Though the "open scrivener, write on novel" reflex might be a barrier.)

Heh. I do my novel writing in Google docs too, so I know how that goes.

If you find one, let me know, I want it too.

Fitocracy might do what you want! www.fitocracy.com

Let me know if you want an invite code and I can message it to you, but I think using XKCD as the code will still get several thousand more people in. XD

It's said that code has been used up - I'd really love an invite code if you have one going spare!

Invite code sent - enjoy!
