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.

Great blog John! I found it years ago but lost track of it since my training (grip strength-focused) then was not compatible. Now that my training is more kettlebell-centric I have rediscovered your entertaining writing again.

Have you tested your deadlift max again to see how much increase you've gotten out of the ES singles?
Thank you Ben!
No, I haven't tested my max for quite a awhile. I have been thinking about it, but now that I think I have over-trained, I don't know when I'll be ready. Thanks for bringing that important part of the program to mind!
