    Okay,

    Books say we need paper logs. Tried it for awhile, but switched to the official SS app (which is now failing me since I'm doing a 4-day program from the Barbell Prescription instead of the standard protocol).

    I sweat a lot. How do you keep paper logs dry?

    Write your notes after your workout when you've dried off.

    Thought of that, but I don't remember every warmup set. I'll remember the worksets, but the BBP says to log warmup sets as well.

    I suppose I could use "Okay google, remember ..." extensively. Is there a good android app for this?

    Write your warm up and work sets in your log before you start your workout.

    You could always make a quick note of what sets/reps/weight you did on your Notepad app during your workout and just transcribe it onto your paper log at the end of your workout?

    I guess I don't see the need for a paper log...I have an app that lets me choose just about any exercise, tracks my time and volume, etc.

    My workout is filled out in it's entirety before I hit the gym. The workout is then done according to the log. You should know exactly what you are going to do before going to the gym.

    I buy a quality log book, record my workouts in pencil, and use a towel to dry my hand before I write anything down.
    My log gets wet, but pencil doesn't smear when wet and quality paper can take some moisture.

    Writes in the rain notebook. Works in the rain so sweat shouldn’t be an issue.

    I have kept a paper record of every rep and every set I have ever done since I first touched a bar, but I'm weird like that.

    You should see a doctor about your sweat issue.
