One of the best but least followed pieces of advice when it comes to body building is to keep accurate records in a workout log or a workout journal.
A workout log is a simple journal that helps you keep track of your exercises, weights used, reps, sets and intensity level exerted during workouts.
Just like a business that gets into money trouble because it doesn’t keep accurate financial records bodybuilders get into trouble because they don’t keep accurate fitness records in a workout log.
What kind of trouble am I talking about?
1. You won’t know if you are making consistent progress.
Is your bodybuilding progress regular or erratic? Are you taking two steps forward and one step back back in your muscle gain program?
2. You don’t know how much progress you have made.
If you forget the starting weight you used for squats you can’t be sure how much progress you’ve made.
3. You don’t know how many workouts it took to accomplish the progress you’ve made.
How long it takes, and how many workouts it takes to reach muscle gain or strength gain goals is important to know. The ONLY way you can remember the details is to keep a workout log.
Workout Log Book Conclusion
There are many reasons for keeping a workout log but as you can see a big one has to do with keeping track of your progress.
The most successful athletes in the world, whether baseball pitchers, quarterbacks, or bodybuilders, are the ones that keep detailed accounts of everything they and their competition do.
You want to be a successful bodybuilder don’t you? Then you need to start keeping accurate records of your workouts and your nutrition in a workout log.
