If there is one thing any lifter should do, it's having a journal handy to record all activities. I look mine over a few times each year and try to adjust things as I deem necessary. There is NO WAY I could remember PRs, sets, weights, etc if I didn't have a journal. Yes, it can be a pain to write down what you just did for a set. You are hurting, tired, sweating and sometimes ticked off, but doing it is a must to move forward. Who can remember how many reps they got at 155lb in the Mil Press two weeks ago... not me! But damn it if that little notebook of mine doesn't have it listed right there along with an unwritten challenge to break it! I like training for strength, incorporating Dinosaur training activities and just pushing myself and a journal is a must. Each session I try to improve on something (anything!) and my little Fat Notebook is really helpful. Thanks for a great early week message, hope it convinces a few fellow lifters out there to go out and buy one! Jason from Groton Massachusetts Great e-mail and right on the mark Logan!

After looking them over Im amazed at the progress I have made and the continuing improvement in just about every exercise. For years I have written off and on workout after workout but never written for over 2 months straight. It is a big habit and it makes you more goal oriented then if you didn't write anything at all. I was never big on writing a workout journal up until 2-3 months ago and now I love writing in my workouts. Anybody who wants to gain anything in fitness their first assignment should be to have a workout journal. Logan,
