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.

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!
