I have a pretty simple schedule. I just know the first 2 days a week I workout(Mon&Tues), a day break(Wednesday), and the last 2 days(Thurs&Fri). And just memorize what routines I do... how many reps to do when I bench press, how many curls, etc etc. I also did a lot of research online for what excercises to do and how many sets I should be doing, etc. And you won't really notice your results until after awhile. If you're always lookin at your muscles and expectin them to get bigger you won't really notice when they actually do. But after awhile you'll start to notice - and so will other people. Usually takes 3-6 weeks of dedicated work to start to see results.

And I read somewhere that while you workout you should constantly stretch and flex your muscles between sets, it will help build definition.
