Good Muscle Soreness vs. Bad Muscle Soreness
Many of you who have embarked on a bodybuilding program recently have emailed me about your muscle soreness and whether that is normal or not.
Muscle soreness is a normal part of the recovery process that begins once you finish your bodybuilding workouts. Muscle soreness is more pronounced at the beginning of your bodybuilding journey since your muscles are not used at all to lifting weights. That is the reason why it is of utmost importance that you use the right beginning bodybuilding routine. By doing so, you avoid getting injured or excessively sore.
There are various types of soreness that you need to be aware of. The key thing is to be able to distinguish between good muscle soreness, which is the one that indicates you had a good workout, and injury type soreness. For learning how to differentiate between soreness types, please take a look at my Types of Muscle Soreness article, where not only will you learn about the different types of muscle soreness, but also how to minimize them.

The Importance of a Training Journal for Bodybuilding Success
Keeping a training journal is a great tool for achieving your bodybuilding goals! Recording your bodybuilding routines is great not only for accountability, planning, and motivation, but it also helps you to see where you are and where you have been.
Imagine if you follow a program, get in the best shape of your life, and then you don't remember how you got there. Could you imagine how you would feel if for whatever reason you lose your shape and then do not know how to get back to it? In addition, a training log allows you to easily see where your progress is going. Are you gaining strength? Are you losing body fat? All of these items can be easily looked at when you keep a training log.
Finally, a log allows you to troubleshoot the program if your progress is not moving forward. If you keep detailed accounts of your workouts and bodybuilding diet plan, if you are losing strength and you notice in your training log that you have been consistently missing a meal or two each day, then you know what the fix to the problem is.
