Keeping Track
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008Do you keep track of your workouts, i.e. sets, reps, weights? I strongly recommend it!
What I do is keep a sheet of paper for every bodypart, with a list of all of the exercises that I’m doing for that bodypart, then I write down every set indicating the weight I used and the # of reps. Then, when I do the next workout, I do everything I can to beat my previous workout, either by increasing the weight or the # of reps that I get. At the very least I make sure to match the previous, but it’s very rare where I don’t beat it. It’s a great way to see your progress and to keep motivating yourself every set.
Yes, I probably look like a total dork walking around the gym with my pen and paper, writing down every set that I do, but……….I look like a total dork who’s in pretty good shape!
