How do you log your lifting in MFP if at all?

Just wondering how everyone keeps track of their weight lifting training. How do you track lifting in MFP? If you use MFP which of the two options do you use? Do you use some other sort of tracking method?

I use fitocracy to log my workouts
You can see your "performance" in a graph over time, so for example, you can see that from May 2012 to May 2013 you went from squatting 45 lbs to squatting 200 lbs or any other lift you do. It's pretty cool. And that's just an example, I squat 95.

I log what I've done/ how much I lifted by hand ( work out schedule at the gym) for calories sake I put it in Mfp at strength in cardio,I know it's not exactly accurate but I feel cheated working that hard and not logging it.0

Yeah that's kinda my concern. I know I'm working hard and I know it's gotta be worth something. especially since I'm not doing as much cardio I miss some calories and I don't want to unknowingly put my net calories below 1200.0

Oh, for calories, yes I do log calories in mfp. I actually use my HRM's calorie estimate, even though I know HRMs aren't accurate for lifting. I walk 10 minutes to the gym, do a few minutes of cardio, then lift, then walk 10 minutes back, and I just log the whole thing as one in my diary. So far my losses have been as expected doing my calories this way. 0

I use jetfit to track and log my weights, it also calculates 1RM which I find nice. You can set up multiple days worth of workouts as well too.0

I use JEFit Pro for specifics on my workouts. I will use the cardio entry for strength training, underestimating my time.0

I have been logging my workout under Strength Training. I use it while I am at the gym. I design a program before I get there and follow it- adjusting the reps or weight if anything is different. Then, I also log the time under cardio.0

I made a custom cardio workout for lifting that "burns" 200 calories, because that's how much more I want to eat on lifting days.0
