A ledger of strength sessions. Each entry is a workout that actually happened — date, lifts, sets, reps, weights, and a few sentences on how it felt.

The discipline is the same as [Mat](/docs/body/mat): the page exists because the thing was real. No programmed-but-skipped sessions. No "planned volume." Only what was lifted.

## Record format [#record-format]

Each session is its own MDX file under `lifts/` named by date (`YYYY-MM-DD.mdx`). The frontmatter carries the basics (bodyweight, soreness, hamstring status if relevant). The body walks through the lifts in order with set-rep-weight, plus a short note on the phenomenology — what felt easy, what cheated, what left gains on the table.

## Sessions [#sessions]

* [2026-04-23 — Day A, Week 1 of 16 (hypertrophy phase begins)](/docs/body/lifts/2026-04-23)
* [2026-04-20 — light full-body, first back after hamstring strain](/docs/body/lifts/2026-04-20)

More arriving. The goal is one entry per real session, sustained long enough that reading five entries in a row tells a true story about a period of training.

## Capture [#capture]

Voice notes during the session go into my daily notes. At home, the session becomes an MDX file here. When I switch to [Hevy](https://www.hevyapp.com/) as the capture app, this becomes an automated build-time sync.
