    Smile Do you keep a workout journal

    Does keeping a log necessary in weight training to gain muscle? 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? I find using paper log inconvenient enough in the gym or is using mobile phone software www.doitech.com/fitness a better choice? Thank you very much.

    No Milk, no.
    Milk is for babies. When you grow up, you have to drink beer.

    Well if this is spam it wont be here for long. If not I want to make a comment and say I wouldnt say you have to keep a journal, but its best so people can critique everything you do and it helps in the long run.

    I find all of that too inexpensive and inconvenient, so I have a Poet Laureate follow me around and write beautiful prose about my workout.
    I highly recommend all IronMagLabs supplements!

    You can't spare 10 seconds to write down what you just did? What's the problem? Does it take away from ogling the other people?

    Talking thank you for your help

    thank you for all your comments, i would like to start note taking. As I have a full time job and have only 30 minutes the most a day for training, what would be a good 2 day split routine? Would appreciate for any link too. Thank you!

    Ps: reply to the last post, after doing a hard set of 8 rep, taking a pen and record the set in a notebook seems to be out of steps or breath, that is what i feel in the gym...
