Episode notes
Compound Gains Depend On Measurement
- 1% better every day compounds into massive gains if measured correctly.
- The phrase seems impossible only when you pick a single, rigid metric to track.
Bench Press Example Shows Metric Limits
- A commenter used bench press weight to argue 1% daily gains are impossible.
- Anthony counters that measuring only weight ignores other meaningful progress dimensions.
Measure Many Dimensions, Not Just Output
- Measure multiple aspects of a skill like form, breathing, mindset, and reps instead of only weight.
- Track small improvements across these dimensions to realize daily 1% progress in aggregate.
