Beginner Guide
Reps, Sets, and Time
Plain-English explanation of the numbers beginners see in workouts.
How to log clearly
- Record the variation used, not just the exercise name.
- Separate left and right side work when an exercise is unilateral.
- Use notes for pain-free range, equipment, and form cues.
Safety note
Stop a timed set before form falls apart. Clean work is more useful than forced duration.
