Keeping Tabs

Yeah, those are my rocking abs up there. Umph. Nah.

One Day.

So who keeps tabs on themselves?

Like every weight lifted?

I do.

I normally keep a composition notebook, noting: weight, sets, reps, energy level, encouragement for next week, injuries. Pretty much anything relating to my performance. My composition notebooks is FULL of months worth of workouts. I love going through the old ones to see how far I've come along, or to see what taking a month off does to my arm strength.

I even see the ripped dudes at the gym whip out their little notebooks and record their weight. For some reason it makes me feel as though I am part of a club that truly cares on what they are trying to create in the gym. I dont lift to just "lift, I'm in there sculpting a physique. Notes must be taking, showing me where I need to improve, where I'm slacking, or where Im just being a bad ass :)

So if you are hitting the gym, start taking some notes. 

I know my tri-coach will read this and say something about filling out my swim/bike/run logs. eek!

p.s I am not training for any triathlons at the moment.
