This is one of the reasons why many people quit very early in the game even before they have started. Keeping your training record has several advantages which are highlighted below;
1. Lowers the probability that you will injure yourself while training in the gym.
We all know that the gym the gym is a very dangerous place. In fact just to minimize the number of injuries in the gym it is very advisable that the training instructor makes it compulsory to keep a training record. A training record will help you put down the number of reps you perform during each training session. Only by examining the way you execute each rep when you are lifting weights can you be able to determine just how much rep you will be able to handle during a work out session. This will go a long way in ensuring that during your body building career you will not succumb to any injury whatsoever.
When you are performing the lifts you need to ensure that each lift you are performing and the number of reps you are exercising are not so many that they could exhaust you and cause the weights to fall on you. If you strain yourself a lot while you are in the gym you could end up not enjoying your workout session.
2. Lowers the chance of suffering from poor form

If you do not keep proper record of the training routine you are using you could end up training the wrong muscles. This happens due to the fact that as you are using certain routines to train the targeted muscles you end up training the wrong muscle groups. The whole training session may be rendered ineffective because you have focused on the wrong muscles and hence you end up developing poor form.

A very good example is when you are training the back muscles; you need to ensure that the targeted muscles are not solely left out so as to avoid the lesser muscles which include the biceps and triceps from crushing and suffering out of exhaustion. The ancillary muscles normally get worked up very easily because of their nature of size in that they are very small and hence easily get exhausted from a single workout. You therefore fail to meet benefits of your workout. This is the main reason why a lot of people fail to realize there goals during body building.
