Do you record your gym sessions in written format? If you don't I can guarantee that you are cheating yourself. I don't care how well you "think" you recall your reps/sets/training poundage’s, from your last session, you will be off. Being able to go back and not only review what you did last session, but what you did 6 months ago, and 6 months previous and so on is an invaluable tool. Don't overlook this!!!!

another thing I wanna add to this is to keep more than one record of what you did. Have a written notebook or whatever and then keep that same log on a computer (whether it be an online journal or just a word program on you pc). I learned this the hard way when months of training logs were wiped out bc of an accident (protein shake exploded). dont learn this the hard way

Yes sir, I definitely keep a log of my workouts. A logbook or a good journal is definitely a worthwhile investment. It is a good tool for making an honest objective assessment of your training history, progression, strengths and weaknesses.
