I don't keep any logs when I lift. Personally I feel that I dont really need to, but I try to switch things up to try and trigger strength gains. Right now I'm sticking to the dumbbells for bench presses. I've noticed its been hitting some different muscles a lot better than the bar has been. It's been about a week and half and I've gone from being a little shaky with 100's to clearing 120's pretty well. I'll stick to it until I clear the 140's then I'm out of DB's to move, and go back to the bar and see if it helped me any.
