Lifting tracker Template
One sheet per session, with sets and reps recorded as done rather than as intended.
Four steps
How to print a lifting tracker
- 1
Start from this form
Opens on the lifting tracker: Date, Session, Bodyweight, a table, a note and the rest.
- 2
Put your own heading on it
Replace "Weightlifting Tracker" with a name, a business or a date range.
- 3
Set the row height
12 rows at 6 mm fits more in; 14 mm suits a form filled in by hand.

Last week numbers, before you start is the line to get right.
Who prints this
Anyone lifting to a programme, and anyone who has stood at the rack trying to remember what last week was.
The field that decides whether it works
Last week numbers, before you start. Progressive overload needs a comparison, and the comparison has to be on the page in front of you rather than three sheets back.
Why it is laid out this way
This gets written on the gym floor between sets, so the rows are wide, the columns are short and nothing asks for a full sentence. Recorded as done rather than as planned, because a sheet of intentions tells you nothing at all in six weeks.
What is on the sheet
3 sections, in this order: Date, Session, Bodyweight; a table; a note. Set the row height anywhere between 6 and 14 mm across its 12 ruled rows, put your own heading at the top, and find the lifting tracker alongside 3 other forms on the fitness trackers page.
