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.

that's interesting. Perhaps would incentivize me some, I guess

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.

Always a bigger fish, haha. compare yourself to who you were yes, not who someone else is today

It's hard, when I hit 300, my first thought was "Hell yea!" Followed closely by "it's not 315 though"
I'm sure I'll eventually hit it, but the next big jump is 405 for 4 plates on each side, and that doesn't even seem like a real number. People do it all the time though.
