Do You Track Every Single Rep?

[Randym76]

I’ve been thinking about logging all my lifts but sometimes it feels like overkill. Do you track every set/rep, or just keep it in your head and go by feel?

I log every set. Even small increases help me see progress over months.

[StoneMC23]

I just track working sets. Warm-ups don’t really matter. Keeps things simple.

Tracking helps mentally too. When you see weekly numbers go up, it motivates you big time.

I used to log everything, now I only log compounds. Accessories I go by feel.

[Randym76]

Interesting. So mostly main lifts, warm-ups optional, accessories optional?

[MarkB%223]

Yep. But during prep or cutting, I log everything to ensure I maintain strength.

Tracking also stops you from “guestimating” weights. Easier to plan progression.

Sometimes I just use a notebook and scribble notes like “felt heavy” or “speed good.” Not precise numbers every time.

Apps make it super easy now. I track lifts on my phone and can check history anytime.
