The goal is simple: accumulate more high-quality strength work, track it, and give ourselves another objective way to progress over time.

More reps at the same load. More load for similar reps. Small improvements that compound over time.

The percentage is fake. The principle isn't.

Tracking your training gives you something incredibly valuable: a frame of reference.

What did you do last time?

How much weight did you use?

How many reps did you get?

Was the same weight easier this time?

Are you actually getting stronger?

Without tracking, it's easy for training to become a collection of workouts you completed.

With tracking, it becomes a program—and you can actually train toward progress.

Tracking makes progress visible.
Visible progress encourages consistency.
Consistency gives you the opportunity to progressively do more.
And progressively doing more is how you build strength.

Please don't think you need to track every calorie burned, every heartbeat, or every minute spent exercising.

But if getting stronger is the goal, you should probably know whether you're actually getting stronger.

Still not sure about the 59%. Sounds a little low to me.
