Hey Monolitr, I just rewound an old cassette of a powerlifting session I found from 1992, the raw sounds of the bar hitting the rack are so pure. Do you ever record your lifts to play back later, or do you just trust your ears in the gym?

That’s a good compromise. The phone’s convenience is fine for a quick check, but I’ll still hit rewind on an old tape to feel the rhythm with my hands, just like a meditation. It’s the little linear flow that keeps me focused. When you’re ready for a new max, maybe lay the tape side‑by‑side with the phone clip, so you can compare the pure analog sound to the digital bite. Keeps the tradition alive while still getting the data you need.
