that's the awful part about throwing away my notes with pushup/workout tracking for the week; now it's a blank slate and the next week I gotta do it all again!

I have a spreadsheet that I've been tracking everything on for 5 years. Keep those notes

nah, the SN record is enough for me.
I'm not that much of a hoarder -- or rather, I already hoard enough shit: books, clothes, diaries etc.

It's just a document on Google sheets. And let me tell you, there's nothing more motivating that going back 5 years and seeing you maxed out on bench press at 155lbs for 3 reps way back then.

Where It helps me is when I feel weak. I'll hit a plateau or just feel like I'm not making any progress, so I go back and look.
A weird thing happened to me while lifting. I started feeling weak up until I benched 225. At that point I felt extremely strong compared to people who don't lift, but then as I got towards the 250s I realized that I'm extremely weak compared to people who are actually strong.
