Dumbbells

Always log the total weight.

• Example:

  • Single-arm row with a 15 lb dumbbell → log 30 lbs total (because you’ll work both arms).

  • Chest press with two 20 lb dumbbells → log 40 lbs total.

Barbells

(Hip Thrusts, Squats, RDLs, etc.)

• Log the bar + all plates together.

• Example:

  • Standard bar = 45 lbs.

  • Add a 10 lb plate on each side (+20) → 45 + 20 = 65 lbs total.

  • Bar + 25s on each side → 95 lbs total.

Smith Machine

If bar weight is labeled (usually 15–25 lbs), add it to your plates.

• Example: Bar 20 lbs + 10s each side (20) = 40 lbs total.

• If bar isn’t labeled, just log the plates.

Pin-Loaded Machines

These are machines with a weight stack + metal pin to select your weight.

1. Common ones: Lat pulldown, seated row, leg press (weight stack), leg extension, leg curl, chest press machine.

2. To log: Just enter the number shown on the stack.

   • Example: Pin at 70 → log 70 lbs.
