Yeah, "I started going to the gym today" is a big morale booster.
Was curious where I started out and this is from my my second logged workout way back when:
3/6/2013


dumbbell shoulder press 16 reps x4 18/28/28/38 18dropx16
side lateral raise 12 reps x3 8/8/13 3dropx12 3 dropsets
SUPER
front raise barbell 12 reps x3 20/20/20
upright barbell row 12 reps x3 20/20/25

barbell shrug 12 reps x4 65warm/75/85/95/100
benchpress 8 reps x3 135/135/145

I did the same amount of benching 3 days in a row no wonder my shoulders/elbows were hosed for like 3 years after that

You see, but you do not observe.

Do you guys log your workouts in text?

I tried the Fitocracy app and it’s amazing how bad it is, the design is terrible. Also loses workouts, etc.

that just aint true tho

bigger muscles dont mean more strength

ive seen plenty of smaller dudes be super strong

if that were true why do weight classes exist

Because generally bigger dudes are stronger than small dudes

But if you got two big dudes and one has huge bulging muscles and the other doesn't, it doesn't necessarily mean Mr.Bulge is going to be stronger. If that was the case then the balloon animal esque physiques of bodybuilders would mean that they were the strongest people in the world and they're not

I like the Fitocracy site, it has quirks with exercise names but I've gotten used to it. The last time I tried using the phone app it was a dumpster fire, though.

Jetfit is pretty good actually. It takes a bit of time to set up correctly but once you’re done you never need to mess with it. I really like that it has built-in rest timers too. I kept a little book for years and years and I honestly like Jetfit better now after I got past the learning curve.

bodybuilders can lift an absolute poo poo ton of volume though even if they can't lift low rep heavy lifts the same as a powerlifter

depends on what you mean by "strength" I guess

If you're on Android I would recommend Fitnotes. It's simple and free. I haven't had any data integrity issues either.

I use FitNotes and it's great, I love looking at the 1RM estimate graph for each exercise over time and pretend like it matters also I love the plate calculator for days when I don't feel like doing basic math

I was using strong until it started crashing during every other test timer. Now I use gravitus and it’s alright, can do percentage based weights kinda but doesn’t round

Also giving a shout-out to FitNotes, it's pretty great and if it doesn't have an exercise preloaded it's easy to add it in. Plate calculator's also helped tremendously when I'm staring at a bar at 4:30 in the morning
