Start Your First Training Logbook

A logbook only works if you actually use it, so the goal of your first session is not a perfect setup — it is one real workout on the page. Here is the fastest path there.

Set up in three steps

1. 01Pick your unit — KG or LB — to match the plates at your gym. You can change it later and everything converts.
2. 02Choose a starting routine from the program library, or build a quick one from the exercise catalog.
3. 03Open today’s session and stamp your first set the moment you finish it.

The first honest set on the page beats a month of planning the perfect app.

What to log at the start

• Weight and reps for every working set — the raw truth.
• A note if something felt off, so future-you knows why the numbers dipped.
• Nothing else. Do not over-engineer it on day one.

Come back tomorrow, let last session pre-fill, and beat it by a rep. That loop — log, review, add a little — is the entire method. Everything else in Bikkel just makes it faster.
