    I really debated about starting a log. This journey gets very personal at times. It's hard to announce to the world things you didn't even want to admit to yourself. But that's why I did it. It needed to be right in front of me so I could deal with it head on. And I needed support to get through it. Who would have thought I'd find that here of all places. :lol: But I did. These guys have been a great help and encouragement through some tough times for me and they probably don't even realize it. - Pagangoddess

Spreadsheet question

Hi,

I've probably missed something obvious, but I've been playing with the spreadsheet for a while now and I can't figure out how to enter the number of reps for "until failure" exercises. Is there a way to do this or is this info not important?

Cheers,
tone

Use the empty line under the field which indicates 3xF.
That's how I do it.

Example: for pushups: first set 35, then 26, then 15, so you would enter 35/26/15
Next time you can see if your numbers have improved or not, both for first set and total reps.

I also do this for an exercise which I have failed.
That way I can
1) track the number of stalls
2) keep an eye on the progress because if it deteriorates after 3 stalls, it is time to do hard deload (20% down), otherwise only 10% deload is required after the 3th stall if there was still progress in the numbers.
I prefer to be called 'H' ;)
