Tip #8 Monitoring your program

Want to give your workouts an immediate boost and start improving today? Keep monitoring and evaluating your weight training program. Why is this such an important tip? By monitoring your program, you can make any adjustments that may be needed to improve your workout program or fix any problems. For example, you keep improving on the seated shoulder press but when you look into your logs, you've stopped progressing on the bench press. By monitoring your logs, you can see where you've stopped and why you stopped progressing.

I think a training log is a very powerful tool and by monitoring it on steady basis, you give yourself a reason to hit the weights hard - Just by looking at the numbers, and looking at your goals. By evaluating your program on a weekly or bi weekly basis, you can decide whether your training program needs to be adjusted or whether you need to add or cut down on calories.

I suggest you take a day out of your week and evaluate your body composition, body weight and body measurements. Decide whether or not you need to adjust your weight lifting routine and nutrition program based on your evaluation.

Your fitness logs should go everywhere you go.
