How To Get Improved Weight Lifting Results By Recording A Journal

By Valeri Pappalardo


If you're trying to gain muscle size and lower fat, you've most likely heard numerous muscle building tips. You may never have heard that you should really keep a journal - a written record of your progress - and if you've not heard this suggestion, you're definitely not following it. Why is this important?

If you look around your gym weight room, you'll most likely observe a lot of a number of people working out, but surprisingly few writing down jotting down their progress. Some would might think this is a process reserved for newbies and that seasoned weight lifters will remember everything and don't need to keep records. I ask you, exactly what about being an experienced body building makes your memory so good?

If you're serious about improving your appearance, you will employ a set of goals, written down and referred to regularly. The two most important things to include are:

1. Your your weight lifting information; that is, the amount of weight, number of sets, types of exercises, etc.

2, Your meal plan and food consumption.

While it's without a doubt feasible to train for weeks or months without any written records, and you'll most likely even notice when you're improving, will you be able to know the specifics? What amount of weight have I lost throughouthow many weeks? When did I actually begin training? On which date did I change up my routine?

In addition, understanding how your diet is affecting your end results will be problematic without a written record. On which days did I eat additional protein? How did it change my stamina? When did I implement my new eating plan? How is it affecting my goals?

All of these matters and more would be difficult to resolve without having a journal. Serious body builders should know the specifics. You'll need to keep track of which exercises you're doing, weights your lifting, foods your eating, calories your taking in, plus the dates that all of this is happening. In this way, you'll have the ability to genuinely gauge how different things are affecting your outcomes. As a consequence, you'll be able to make changes to get still superior results. Plus, you'll recognize when something is getting the job done effectively so you'll be able to keep it up.

Another advantage of a journal is that, while your memory may not be right, your records don't lie. Many people commonly underestimate the amount of food and calories they are consuming. By writing down everything, you'll be able to figure out for sure and make the proper changes where necessary.

This system will take some effort. Indeed, it may take some getting used to. Nonetheless, if you're serious about growing muscle and reducing fat, you'll have to put forth some effort - in the weight room, at your dining room table, and by monitoring your weights, meals, calorie intake, and physical exercise routine.

Be sure to stick with it and monitor your performance weekly. Make changes where it's in your best interests and continue on. As time passes it will seem simpler and you'll be able to track and see your results - which will be an excellent motivating factor to keep going and accomplish even more.
