Why you need to keep a training log to build muscle faster...

If you don't keep a log - You won't know how much weight to lift, how many reps and/or sets to do to be able to progress and build bigger muscles so for example...

If you bench press 85 pounds for 5 reps every Monday - You would probably build some muscle and get some definition at first but...

If you wanted to build even bigger muscles and get more definition...

You would have to lift more than 85 pounds or do more than 5 reps so think about it this way...

If you keep doing the same thing over & over (..like bench pressing 85 pounds for 5 reps every week) - you're going to keep getting the same results and...

When you keep a log book of how many reps you're doing & and the amount of weight you used - You'll know exactly what to do to make your weight lifting workouts more intense to build muscle faster so for example...

Let's say you start off the first week doing 5 sets of 5 reps using 85 pounds on the bench press...
The next week you would want to make it more intense by doing 5 sets of 4-to-5 reps with 90 pounds and the week after that...
You want to do 5 sets of 3-to-5 reps with 95-to-105 pounds and...

To build muscle even faster...

Instead waiting until next week to do more weight or reps - You can start increasing the weight and reps within the workout from set-to-set (just make sure write everything down in your log book) so for example...

Your first week bench press workout may look something like this...

Set 1: 85 pounds for 5 reps
Set 2: 90 pounds for 5 reps
Set 3: 95 pounds for 4-to-5 reps
Set 4: 100 pounds for 3-to-5 reps
Set 5: 105 pounds for 3-to-5 reps

And you would write this all down in your log book and then before your next bench press workout the next week...

You'll look at your log book to see what you did last week so you'll know exactly what to do to make your next bench press workout more intense so you can build muscle faster so for example - Your 2nd week bench press workout may look like this...

Set 1: 90 pounds for 5 reps
Set 2: 95 pounds for 5 reps
Set 3: 100 pounds for 4-to-5 reps
Set 4: 105 pounds for 3-to-5 reps
Set 5: 110 pounds for 3-to-5 reps

So make sure you keep a log and write down the amount of reps & weight you used in your muscle building workouts to build muscle faster - (DO not try to remember and keep in your head!)
