Can anyone suggest or, maybe, share their own gym workout logs created using LaTeX? Something like this, for instance.

1+1 for making the effort to give images and care when asking the question (clearly more than I did in my answer :p ) – Joe May 1 '13 at 20:49

Here is a proof of concept of how to handle the table (inspired by How to make tabularx columns using \whiledo?)
\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tabularx}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{colortbl}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\newcounter{index}
\newcounter{temp}
\newcounter{currentline}
\newcounter{numberoflines}
%% This create a command \Line to print a row of n elements, where n is the
%% argument of the command
\newcommand{\settabindex}[1]{%
\setcounter{index}{#1}%
\setcounter{temp}{0}%
\def\Line{}%
\whileboolexpr{test { \ifnumless{\value{temp}}{\value{index}} }}
{\stepcounter{temp}\edef\Line{\Line & }}%
}
%% set the counters for how many row we want to print
\newcommand{\setnumberoflines}[1]{
\setcounter{currentline}{0}
\setcounter{numberoflines}{#1}
}
%% This is for the second table. We create a command workout that print n
%% workout lines (and increase the counter for each workout)
\newcounter{workout}
\newcommand{\workouts}[1]{%
\setcounter{workout}{0}%
\whileboolexpr{test { \ifnumless{\value{workout}}{#1} }}
{\stepcounter{workout}Workout \theworkout \Line
\ifnumless{\value{workout}}{#1}{\\\hline}{}}
}
\begin{document}
%% FIRST TABLE

Apologies for just giving links, but I suspect that your best bet will be to find some excel format workout logs (this page has some nice examples but it's the sort of thing where it's probably best to roll your own) and then put them though one of the methods suggested in Comprehensive list of tools that simplify the generation of LaTeX tables...

Is it possible to illustrate with example how LaTeX Table will help for the others benefit and adding value ?. You can always leave a comment instead like above. – texenthusiast May 1 '13 at 21:32
