5/3/1 Logbook
Custom 5/3/1 Workout Logbook
The only logbook designed around Jim Wendler's 5/3/1 protocol — training max math baked in.
Why this logbook
Built specifically for 5/3/1
5/3/1 is the most-run strength program of the last decade for a reason: the rep schemes are ruthless, the progression is predictable, and the AMRAP sets are where you find out if you're actually pushing the 90% training max that makes the whole thing work. The problem with generic notebooks is they force you to manually calculate 65/75/85/70/80/90/75/85/95+% of a TM you're trying to remember, cycle after cycle. Our custom 5/3/1 logbook ships with dedicated training-max fields, pre-labelled percentage columns for the 5s/3s/1s weeks, and an AMRAP result box that matters more than the prescribed sets. You stop doing math in the chalk dust and start actually lifting.
What's different about tracking 5/3/1 specifically: you need to capture the training max, the top-set weight, and the actual reps hit on the AMRAP — because TM increases depend entirely on whether last cycle's AMRAP beat the prescribed reps by 5+. Generic logs bury that decision. Ours surfaces it on every spread. You also need supplemental tracking for the assistance template you're running (BBB, FSL, Joker sets, 5x5 FSL, Pyramid) with enough space to note percentage, set/rep, and how it felt. Finally, 5/3/1 lives and dies on deload weeks — our template includes a dedicated deload page so you actually take them instead of skipping them.

What they're saying
“First week phone-free I hit a 15-pound bench PR. Turns out I was never actually pushing to failure because my focus lived on Instagram.”

Frequently asked
5/3/1 logbook questions
Does this work with Boring But Big, FSL, or Joker sets?+
Yes. Every daily spread has a supplemental section with space for BBB (5x10), FSL (First Set Last), Joker sets, Pyramid, or your own assistance template. Note the percentage, sets, reps, and how it felt.
How do I update my training max between cycles?+
Each cycle has a TM field at the top and a "next cycle TM" field at the bottom. Standard Wendler progression is +5 lb upper / +10 lb lower if your AMRAP beat the prescribed reps by a solid margin — use the logbook margin to note whether the bump is warranted.
Can I track my warm-ups?+
Yes. Dedicated warm-up sets rows precede the working 5s/3s/1s so you capture bar/40%/50%/60% work without cramming.
What about 5/3/1 for beginners or BBB variants?+
The builder supports both 3-day and 4-day 5/3/1 splits. You can also set the program length to match a triumvirate (12 weeks), BBB challenge, or a full year of cycles.
Is this the Second Edition or Forever version?+
The template is agnostic — it tracks TM%, top sets, AMRAPs, and supplemental work, which are the same across Wendler's editions. You just log what your current edition prescribes.
