This week marks our final week of back squatting in this cycle, so we’re working up to a tough single. Take note of where you’re at — not just for today, but for the bigger picture of your training journey.

After a quick chat with Joe Sockinger, I was reminded just how powerful consistency is. At 97 years old, Joe still tracks every single workout he does. Can you imagine having a detailed record of your training — the good days, the hard days, the wins, and the setbacks — when you’re nearly a century old? That’s incredible.

Tracking matters because it shows us how our body changes over time. It gives us real data on our progress, helps us identify what’s working, and tells us when it’s time to adjust.
We often think that tracking is only important when we’re at our peak, but the truth is… it’s the long-term average over time that tells the real story.

So today, don’t just lift — log it.
