Why we write every lift down

Every Ironworks member gets a paper card. It lives in a box by the racks. Here is why we still use one.

Memory is not a plan

Most people cannot remember what they lifted three weeks ago. Without a record, you guess. With one, you add a little and move on.

Small jumps add up

Two and a half kilos a week does not sound like much. Over a twelve week cycle it is a lot.

It starts a conversation

Your coach reads the card before class. That is how they know to ask about your shoulder, or to push you a little more today.
