I’ll try gmb.io. It looks great. But when I go to the gym once per week, and do 10 different exercises with weights or machines, I want to know what weight I used last time so I can start there (or just above it) again. Maybe you have the memory of an elephant. Or Maybe you don’t care if you spend 2 minutes at every machine first figuring out what weight feels like just enough, not too much or too little, before doing 3 sets? Enjoy that. But I don’t want to do that. Every. Single. Time i go to the gym. And there’s no way to see my progress?

Not the parent, but I don’t think they are arguing against tracking weights when weight lifting so much as they are arguing against “traditional” weight lifting routines in general. I have not tried gmb.io, but looks like progression in that program involves moving onto more difficult movements rather than increasing weight.

You'll remember the numbers after the first 2-3 gym sessions without any kind of apps or paper tracking. It's not a problem at all. I speak this as someone who has terrible memory.
