    I use to keep an old Marine Duty Log Book for my jounal while I was in Japan. I kept track of every set, how wt I used. Everything I ate, drank, and details about cardio. I was only 21 and when I read it now I laugh my ass off. However, it was the biggest I had ever been (up till that point) no steroids. I had ripped fuel, ultimate orange, a big bottle that just said 'Amino Acids' on it and Myoplex. I thought that I was ballin'

    yes, imo if you dont you are robing your self... i can look back and evaluate my growth from any time period... too often, i dont remember the reps or weight i have done in the past... just yesterday while doing flat bench i was putting up 305 lbs my max reps before were 6 and i popped of 7 - when i left i had a great feeling cause i hit a few dif rep maxes...

    what i do i copy and paste my last work out on to my black berry and just add and compare the numbers from the last work out... then email it to my self...

    I log everything.

    I used to keep extensive logs here... but i since transferred 'em to (and continued 'em at) my forum.

    Logging is essential imo.

    My log book is my workout partner which keeps me on my toes.

    Ex.
    I am feeling tired. Go to leg press , i open my book and see what i did last week , say my final working set was 800lbs for 8 reps. I have two options 800lbs for 9reps or 825 for 4-6reps and nothing less !

    Like Nark said, its essential.
