| Does keeping a log necessary in weight training? I am just a beginner and does not have much luck in weight lifting in the past. I wonder if keeping a a log will produce result. I would appreciate if you share with me whether you need a log in weight training and how do you go about it? Do using paper log enough or is using mobile phone software such as www.doitech.com/fitness mobile personal trainer[/URL] a better choice. Thank you very much. |

| keeping a training log is definatley a requirement of training...also a food log is a must...by doing this you can go back see when you got results, what worked for you and what didn't when nothing happened...also worth noting is hrs of sleep a night and the quality if sleep which will correspond with energy levels during training which should aklso be kept...i'll send a sample to your pm...i keep mine in a workbook and have about 10 of them at home from over the yrs |

I keep a log and I find it very helpful. I typically recommend it, but some people really don't think they need it. I know that I couldn't possibly remember the weights I used last on each exercise. It's good to know what I used last time so I can know what to start with, and I can keep track of my weight increases.

| those "big boys" are obviously very experienced in what tyhey do and they know what they respond to from a lot of trial and error...basically they can probably go as heavy as they like all they just need to decide is what rep range they wanna go for and choose a wt that's "there abouts"...this is what they learnt from keeping a log early in their training...for anybody who isn't at that level, a training log is essential |

I'd be gratefull if you could tell me which muscles to train a week.
I don't know if I should do biceps and chest on monday, triceps and back on tuesday, legs and shoulders on wednesday, then take a day off.
Or do biceps chest monday, day off, wednesday do triceps and back, day off, friday legs shoulders, day off, etc..
Thanks in advance |
