Welcome to the gurning and grunting corner, V23 
I scribble my weights and reps down on a scrap of paper and copy the numbers into my Fetch training log under either X-Training - Weights or Gym depending on whether I've done skipping and other non-lifting stuff.
eL Bee! writes his current weights on the wall with a marker pen. I recommend not doing this if you don't own the gym

I'm rubbish at keeping notes and logging, but don't do loads of exercises so I know where I'm at in my head. Resorted to timing my sessions with my Garmin so that they at least get logged. Used to use a notepad.

My coach dishes us out a programme and once I've done it once, it sticks in my head....I log everything on Garmin Connect.

Log everything on notes on my iPad then cut & paste it over to my Fetch log. I have my own gym, there's no risk of anyone pinching my iPad or it getting smashed, so wouldn't necessarily recommend that. Before pen & a journal worked just fine.

CMR - I have been reading about the shock method (think you mentioned it earlier in the thread). Are you using it at the moment?

Thanks all! I'm happy to be in the gurning and grunting corner I might go for notepad an excel sheet to keep track of numbers. I'd love to know what the gym owners would do if I attempted to record things on the wall - as lovely as they are, I sense it wouldn't go down well...

The really good gym I go to for my Olympic lifting club has a wall for PBs in specific lifts for members.

We each have a tile on the wall in our gym, and our PBs are on there!

Just had a look back through my log SPR, I can't find shock method there. I did use the strength-aerobic method for a while (high intensity low rep combined with low intensity high rep work) for an 8 week block, whether shock method and strength-aerobic are interchangeable terms I don't know. I'm in a 10 week block with an aerobic training focus at the moment so I'm using Tempo lifting/cardiac output/tempo intervals/HICT at the moment.
I'm going to be at MSC this coming weekend for a course.
