Who this is for
Lifters who want a record of their sets without thumbing numbers into an app between sets, sweaty and out of breath.
The moment this saves you
Logging mid-workout means putting the bar down and fighting a clunky app, so I “remember” my numbers, which means I don’t, and progressive overload turns into guesswork.

Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.
Alright leg day done. Squats I did three sets, 135 for 8, then 155 for 6, then 165 for 5, the last one was grindy. Romanian deadlifts, three sets of 10 at 95. Leg press I did 4 plates each side for 12, did that twice. Felt strong today, knees felt fine for once. Skipped calves, ran out of time.

The prompt behind this context
I'm going to talk through the workout I just did. Turn it into a dated workout log: a bold heading "Workout log, [today's date]" plus the session name if I gave one (e.g. "Leg day"). List each exercise on its own bold-labeled line with sets in a compact weight×reps format (e.g. 135×8, 155×6). Put any per-set comment in italics. Add a "Skipped:" line for anything I said I skipped, and an italic "Notes:" line for how I felt. Keep my exact numbers; never invent weights, reps, or exercises I didn't mention. Output only the log.
Make it your own. This is a starting point. Once it's in Contextli, tweak the instructions so the output comes out exactly how you like it.
