I see people with notebooks all the time so it wouldn't be weird.
Myself, I just use my iPhone. I actually enter all my weights that I plan on doing that day into Google Docs before I go to the gym and then pull up the spreadsheet while at the gym.

Also at the slight chance someone says something (doubt it), they can promptly fuck off because they aren't there to really work out anyways
LOL, thanks.
Yup, every workout - Crossfit, yoga, cycling, etc.
And pretty detailed notes to go with everything too.
do you mind if i ask what else you write down?

i started using my iPod Touch for this sort of thing but it's a pain having to type, backspace, retype, backspace, wait for it to catch up, retype. blah. i love that device, but it's 2 years old and acts like it. i'd rather use pen and paper.

I take my notebook every time to the gym. I like to know what my numbers are and to see what progress I have made. I keep all my old note books and have atleast the last 2 years in my desk. I like being able to see that I benched ### last year and now I'm at ###.
Won't be weird...some do it, and even if no one at your gym does no one will care. Also at the slight chance someone says something (doubt it), they can promptly fuck off because they aren't there to really work out anyways.
C/N: Do it if you want to.
I have never had anyone say anthing besides, never thought of doing that or thats a good idea. Only positive remarks so far.
thing is, nobody really seems to bring notebooks, so i'm wondering if i'd be weird to do that. does anyone here keep a notebook with you?
There are a few other people at the gym I go to that bring note books. No one will think you are weird.

I agree. I just normally bring a post it note each day with my routine, But that's just my weights for each set. It'd definitely not unusual to see people with a small notebook.

So I'm the only one that uses technology to keep track of this stuff? Damn, how old are you fogeys? 
I don't like having my phone in the gym. Seems like a recipe for theft/breakage.
My gym is too crowded as it is.

Agreed, the rings on my notebook are bented from getting stepped on or weights being put down on it. I don't want to take the chance and jack up my phone in the gym

I set my phone on the window sill next to the squat rack or under the bench when doing bench press.

My book has everything in it - warm up, workout, weight, scaling (if appropriate), times, any notes regarding form or improvements needed for next workout (i.e. watch knees, keep head up), how I felt in the workout, anything my coach noted, and anything else I feel is important.
It's and extremely helpful tool.

C/N: Do it if you want to.
What works, works.
I just keep a calendar that I write what I did that day. Not as detailed as what OP is describing, but I'm not a n00b, either. I do it so I can properly space out what I focus on over the week. It also helps me track mileage on the bike.
Fuck anyone with who has a problem with making a concerted effort.
