Compare like with like

Keep enough of the setup consistent to interpret a change. A higher chair, stronger hand support, slower pace, or longer rest changes the task even when the repetition count stays the same. Read measurement and meaningful change before treating a small numerical gain as a firm conclusion.[1]

Review a pattern at an interval that suits your goal and care plan. Include work, sport, sleep, and other relevant demands if they help explain the week. The log is most useful when it supports a decision or improves an appointment conversation.
