Just sharing my new tracking sheets.
I made these primarily because I am using pyramid training so much more and hit sets from 30 reps down to singles too.
I like it so far…always a way to chase numbers no matter what rep range I am working in. So far, this has been highly motivating for me as well.

I log all sets and reps but these sheets offer a quick glance into what I’ve done with weights/reps.

I have been doing my own systematic 20 rep goal squats pyramids and the results have been nothing short of spectacular.
I have a few “rules” and this stuff is grueling…
1- first set is 15-20 reps, push as hard as possible to get 20…* the goal is twenty to start 10lbs heavier next workout …so far I have hit 20 for nine consecutive workouts.
2- do 5-6 more sets, each to failure trying to break PRs, add 30 pounds (some flexibility there) per set as a base

3- pyramid down to a final set of 1-3 reps.
I’m proud to say that my next workout will start with 235 aiming for 20…THATS A FULL 100 POUNDS HIGER THAN WHEN I CREATED THIS PLAN.
I recorded all six sets yesterday.
225x20
255x13
285x10
315x7
350x4
375x1
And all six sets were PRS. I’m getting really used to it. At first the pump in my thighs and Back was crazy, but now I handle it well.
The video below is from when I first started the new plan
