Forum: Sports Training Journals

Climbing is a sport of strength, finesse, and intelligence. The necessary strength extends beyond conventional weightlifting definitions of strength. As someone who clean and jerked 120+ kg in high school, I was inexplicably humbled on my first day of climbing as I struggled through a beginner...

Picked up Brazilian Jiu Jitsu upon moving to LA from my hometown of Chicago in Nov of 2017 and I'm pretty much obsessed with it now. For any one that may be reading and isn't familiar with the sport, BJJ is essentially submission grappling largely in the context of ground fighting. I'm a white belt...

I've always been a strong swimmer, and was at regional level back in my early teens. I started open water swimming in April having not been training in 15 years. Did one practice swim in my wetsuit and then did my first OW 1500m a week later, placing third. I later placed seventh, winning the...

I can't go back to the orthopedic surgeon I've seen twice in good faith for this because I refuse to go for a third surgery. The past two Decembers I've had arthroscopic labral repairs on my right shoulder. First one went great but it fully dislocated again playing hockey so I went for round two...

Hey guys, I always had this "I need to start working out", "I will be fit" thing since the beginning of high school but it took me until I became 24 to actually start. I did achieve significant results by running and doing something called GAPS diet but I couldn't sustain it and in about 1.5...

I've had success in the past staying consistent with an online journal moreso than paper. It's weird because I hate reading books on electronic devices but online journals just seem to be way more effective at cataloging information. Anyways who cares about all that - I want to run a few ultras...

This is in addition to my over-35s journal which I shall keep separate and keep for tracking upper body strength work (https://forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=175638491).

I was keeping my training log over in the 35 and older group, but since I"m not training for bodybuilding, but long drive golf, I'm putting here because maybe it's more appropriate. Just to be clear, my training goal is not bodybuilding, but to hit my driver 400 yards ( or over ), ideally in...
