Any Profesional bodybuilders here?

Are there any professional bodybuilders here?

Do you guys make workout routines and stick to them. Such as writing down every set and rep. How often do you change it up?

Do you count calories everyday or just eat good foods 6 meals a day and shoot to a certain range I.E. ( 4,200-4,400 calores 350-400 grams of protein) ?

i keep logs regularly. this is how i make little improvements as i go. my body is an ongoing science experiment. food logs, activity logs, sup logs, energy logs, measurement logs, training logs, chemical logs, you name it i log it. you can only remember so much.

i keep logs and far from a noob...i use it to compare gains...when your making fast progress, you don't want to waste sets

[RADAR]

Everyone is different. It isn't like all pros do the same thing.

Or trainers but only beacause they gotta log shit for multiple clients... but seriously how do you not remember what you lifted or repped the previous workout?

 

[jimmyhav]

Usually I can just remember it, but I know for me, I've got a lot going on in my life. Between workouts, I've got the wife, kids, job, etc. to deal with. Some things get to be too much work (wife?) and it's nice to be able to open up my log and know right where I was and what I did last time.

 

[Nelson Montana]

I never kept a log -- not saying anyone shouldn't, it just didn't work for me. There are too many variables in my training. It isn't just about reps and weight.

 

[LiftHeavy078]

I don't really need to keep any logs. I know what works for me, and I know how many reps/sets I need to do and how much weight I need to put up. If I am on cycle, I just increase the weight every few days. The only people I see in the gym keeping logs are the 5'7 135lb people (yes, they are guys) who never seem to make any progress. They are the ones who hog the squat rack for 45 minutes and do 15 sets of squats, and 9 sets of deadlifts. I can see how you would need to keep a log if you have a hectic life (crazy job/family, etc). I'm not saying it is a bad idea, because it is not. I have just never seen anyone use them that actually looked like they know what they are doing.

I do keep logs of my weekly weight gain/loss (depending on goals) progress. This way I can look back two years from now and see where I was at then during a cutter/bulker and it makes it easier on what I need to do.

keeping logs is for newbs? interesting.

Of course there are pro bodybuilders here.
Having a detailed nutrition and training regimen
is critical in your success with bodybuilding.

I Agree , i started training under the supervision of a certain former mr olympia and the best info he gave me was to keep a training log with reps and weights etc i still do this today and every session is a war against the log i know exactly what i gotta beat it also cuts out a lot of wasted sets for example once i done flat dumbells i know exactly what i can max out at on inclines as i have it written down , i dont have to do any unneccasary "feeler Sets"to gauge my strength

I keep a strict log and am 5ft 3 and almost 190 lb i credit this to my strict attention to detail ( and keeping logs - where i train the only guys who dont keep logs are the ones who have been the same size for years and do 20 sets of bicep curls cus they can watch themselves in the mirror whilst they do them admiring there 15 inch arms lol

 

[-SD-]

Everybody here is a pro, didnt you know?

 

[reck]

I go on streaks where i use a log for a while and go on streaks where i don't.... i think both workout and food logs are really useful personally , and it's also cool to look back sometimes at an old log and see some of the strength improvements you've made.

 

[Rachel...lol]

I have kept a log twice - and it was when I was making a dramatic change in the style of my training, i.e. periodization etc.

 

[Wulfgar]

Wulfgar keeps several logs actually.
I keep a training log religiously, nutritional log, and a scheduling log.
IMHO they are invaluable.

Ask Dorian Yates if tracking your progress n a log is valuable or not.
