How to do a log

I'm probably (definitely) over thinking this. I was asked to write a log for my upcoming cycle. I don't want my log to suck.

This would be my first log and haven't previously read through any others. I understand the basic principles, such as outlining the cycle protocol and providing updates on training progress and body composition changes.

Do you guys have any tips to provide? For example, what are the elements of a good log, preferred update frequency, etc?Anything that I should avoid so I don't annoy the piss out of you guys?

Thanks!

Yep, take a look at the logs some of the people on that list have done!

Honestly, it really boils down to a couple things, first and foremost is that it's your log, so make it what you want. It can be an all business collection of workout numbers, supplements designed to keep yourself accountable, or it can be a thread where others come in and make comments, post fat girl pictures, make homosexual remarks and there's 1 post about exercise / supplements for every 25 off topic posts. You'll get people following both types, but IMHO the latter style tends to see more participation. Just my 2 cents

We are like good neighbors visiting each other.
It's common courtesy to visit subscribers logs too. You may find useful tips, unexpected pics and rants.

Thanks for linking the log bro. Enjoyed every second of reading through it. I won't be able to provide as much insight, but realized how much I've been missing out by not following the communities logs. Well done.

If y'all (been south of the Mason Dixon for 3 years) have logs and want to link, please do!

Most grab the 2nd and sometimes 3rd post spot for "final summary" updates, progress photos, and what not. Other than that just lay out where you are in your journey, what your goals are and what supplement you are logging (and how it will fit into your overall goals). Then just provide honest feedback and updates along the way. I think most sponsored logs request (require) at least 3 updates a week, but to be honest I personally am more interested in quality of updates than quantity. Then all the in-between "off-topic" posts are just entertainment to pass the time :)

Logs are simple; just do update every day or whenever you can telling us about your progress, side effects, what muscle group you trained, how good your lift was, etc. I give daily updates on my weight as well when i do logs

Logging pro tip # 13:. If you are excessively hairy just shave your abs "in" for The "after" photos. Just ask hairygrandpa. Uber effective for Gainz.

You can also browse around in the supplement logs section and look at members logs. You can tell the good ones vs the bad ones pretty easily:)

#1- dont mind the hijacking of the threads
#2- starting it is fun but as the days go on, it can be a challenge, so keep notes so when you can update, you arent all over the place
#3- hijack someone elses log
#4- ask questions on your log and the one you hijacked that pertain to other things, IE the law of physics
#5- have fun with it- bighulksmash is a perfect example- on his 874 pages of a log, 10 threads will relate to why he started the log, the rest goes everywhere else! lol
