Edit Week 8 DL Singles with ES

Today on the last day of week 7, I planned to do 15 sets x 1 rep of 290lbs (83% 1RM), but for whatever reason on 10th rep my RPE was a 9. So, I took off some weight and finished feeling good. In my opinion, a 9 is too high to be an Easy Strength type of training. So, tomorrow I'll lower the weight and the RPE, hoping it will be easier because I am stronger.

DL Singles with ES (Weeks 7 & 8)

For this next two-week block I'll be applying the dead-lift program on page #99 from the book "Easy Strength". A variation of Justa's Singles with an added modification to the 40-day workout. After the dead-lift repetition, I'll be adding one hanging leg-raise, a kettlebell clean & press 1L/1R with a 32kg for 2/3 of the sets and a 36kg for 1/3 of the sets, and after all sets are finished, 28kg TGUs of 1/1 x 2 and 40 reps of swings. Today I did 3 sets x 1 repetition of 290lbs (83% 1RM) with 3 minutes of rest between sets.
On Monday I'll do 5 sets.
Tuesday will be 7 sets.
Wednesday 9 sets.
Thursday 11 sets.
Friday 13 sets.
Saturday 15 sets.
Repeat on Sunday with an added 10 pounds (300lbs / 86% 1RM) for the dead-lift and continue pressing the 32kg (80% 1RM) for 50% of the sets and the 36kg (90% 1RM) for the other half.

Justa's Singles with Easy Strength Weeks 19 & 20

For this next two-week block I'll be applying the same simple dead-lift program that I read on page 99 in Easy Strength. A variation of Justa's Singles with a slight modification. After the dead-lift, I'll be adding one repetition of a hanging leg-raise and a 28kg kettlebell clean & press 1L/1R.
Today I did 3 repetitions of 260lbs, which is my 70% 1RM + 15 pounds with two minutes of rest between sets.
On Monday I'll do 5 reps.
Tuesday will be 7 reps.
Wednesday 9 reps.
Thursday 11 reps.
Friday 13 reps.
Saturday 15 reps.
Repeat on Sunday with an added 10 pounds for the dead-lift and 32kg for the presses.
