The Importance of a Training Log

[the iron addict]

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!!!!

I'm a newbie and even I think it's IMPORTANT to keep track of your workouts. You have to im my opinion unless you have a perfect memory which none of us do. It's a great reference guide to what exercises you've done, what routine's worked and didn't and such. I'd feel naked in the gym w/o my notebook. I personally record everything from exercise, to sets, to reps, to time spent and such.

I didn't use to keep a log book when I first started a few years back, but I do now, it definately helps.
