I have a really weird memory for how many sets/reps and what weight from workout to workout. I am either some kind of niche memory genius or (more likely) not working out hard enough and not mixing up my routine meaning I don't have to remember much!
Stonehedge-
For years I went to the gym & just picked up the same weights every time out of habit, rarely wondering why i wasn't getting stronger - then I read up on stronglifts etc. and started keeping track of what i was doing & made a point of making small increases every week or so, wasn't long before all the stardard lifts had increased 10-20kg.
Tldr - if I don't track & stick to a routine I end up trying to randomly increase my squat by 20kg & nearly shit myself.

Yeah, if the Garmin interface was more like strong it would be perfect & would keep all my activity data in one place - because OCD.
I like to keep track of weights to keep me motivated, find it helps to see a progression - the activity summary on strong gives you the total weight shifted per workout which I find curiously addictive
