how many of you keep a training log

[freakazoid]

i used to but have not for years,i used to write down the weight i was using and tried to get at least 1 more rep each week.when i compleated 3 sets of 10 for 2 consecutive weeks i would add 5 pounds.i am thinking of doing this again,does anyone think that keeping a log helps gains?

 

[slobberknocker]

Definitely helps me.

I do. I've got a 3 inch stack of log papers in my garage.

Sure do .... cant do a workout without one now. Best way to see your poundages go up from day to day.

i should really try it, i've actually made some pretty cool looking spreadsheets but never used them for myself, go figure.

this is random, but i have the temptation to take all the MD mags and rip out all the ad pages keeping the good stuff.

I may have been weak, but i was also fat!

I do, but I keep on my computer with a program.
