[QUOTE="Ringo, post: 1061332, member: 1511"] On the topic of writing down your workouts: I think this is a must, can't imagine recording it all by memory. You could track your workouts old school, notebook and pencil. I prefer to use Google Spreadsheets. Easy to use on both desktop and cellphone. Obviously there's a thousand ways to organize the spreadsheet, divide each day of the split in different tabs, etc - that's up to you. What I love about it is that I can always have it handy - since I love working out listening to podcasts or music, I carry my phone with me to the gym. No risk of forgetting last week's numbers or what exercise you have to do next. I've been tracking my workouts this way since 2013, it's cool to see the progress. You can also use it to track your bodyweight week by week. Not sure if this is the case, but if you have a target weight for a certain lift, say deadlift 315lbs, it's easier to program what your week by week schedule should look like until you peak at 315 at the end of the cycle. There's a ton of templates online, but PM me if you need help setting it up. [/QUOTE]
