Do you take a print out or write a memo on your phone or is there an app you use for it? :)

    Mine is simple so it is memorized. I see people carrying notebooks, papers with pen, and cellphones all the time. Do whatever works for you.

    There are several apps you can use on your phone to create/log your workouts. I use one called FitNotes. It has lots of exercises/lifts and you can use them to create your workout, or create an exercise of your own. Then you can track your sets and reps and it also has a timer. Simple, easy, and does what I need.

    print it out, or use a notebook, or a clipboard, or make a memo on your phone or use an app like Jefit

    Hmm maybe notebook and pen could be quite motivational too as I could look back at the start to see the progress Ive made after a month or so. Apps have the perk of not needing to take anything else into the gym as the phone is already there though.

    I make my plan in a spreadhsheet, print it out and put it in a 3-ring binder (which contains all of my workouts since I started in Dec 2013) and mark off what I do with pen as I go, along with any notes for the day (tweaked this, some lift was especially easy or hard that day, skipped something for whatever reason, etc.)

    Jefit app. since I began lifting back in 2012 it lets you look back at your progress as well.

    I use an old app on my phone called "GymBuddy." It is also not internet connected so if my connection is bad it still works. That's the primary reason I use it.

    ooo! I hadnt thought about internet connection being required, I dont think there is Wi-Fi at my gym and not sure on how good signal is in there to get a connection,

    If you want to use an app, I would recommend Jefit. It does not require an internet connection to work, it will take what you input on your phone and sync it with the website later. My only issue with them, is there is limited reports (especially in the free version. Though you can upgrade to get more.), little to no customization and no way to download the data into excel or something so you can do your own analysis. But, I haven't found anything any better, so sticking with it for now.
