training logs

[MuGGsy]

Just started keeping my training log tonight (had also finalized my lifting plan for the next 3 months today), maybe it was just that I needed that extra concentration but my workout was excellent, I focussed so intently on the squeeze and keeping my reps and weight right where I want it. I'm not saying it's for everyone but I have a feeling that this log is going to help me keep responsible to myself and keep the process fueled. Sound off if you use one!

I've been looking for a good new years resolution. Maybe keeping a log will my new years resolution. Oh, and I'm also gonna try to get down to about 5%bf sometime this year-just to perfect a technique for getting down there.

i need to start one soon cause im going back to the gym. I always kept it in my head since i got a good memory. The only thing i need to keep track is of my bodyweight, will take pictures every week or 2 and my diet. Workouts i pretty know what to do. BUt yeah thier helpful.

I always "remembered" last weeks weights, I just feel this helps me take it that much more serious, I don't want to look in my log and see that I failed. I also record how each set felt and how I fel tgoing into the workout / how the diet had been that day

Sorry, but I feel that using a journal is a smart thing to do. "Remembering" weights isn't the point. It's to keep an eye on over all progress, see what's working and what's not. The best time is when you start a new routine, sometimes you forget starting numbers. You can go back and see how many gains you made in a time frame on the current routine and go way back and echk if you made better/worse gains on the last routine.
