DL Singles with ES (Weeks 9 & 10)

After a back-off for week 8 while being slightly over-trained, I'll be starting a different template cycle at a lower percentage for this next two-week block and test again after I am at 90% 1RM. I'll be applying the principles from the book "Easy Strength", a blog article from StrongFirst.com, and using all of the six basic movements; a push, pull, hinge, squat, carry, and "roll, kneel, and lunge". A "warm-up" of prying goblet squats, TGUs, and two-handed swings. After a dead-lift single, I'll be adding a body weight pull-up, a 28kg clean & press x 1/1, a 16kg renegade row x 1/1, and then after all sets are finished, alternating days of squats or swings and two-hand carries (See below).

Today I did 15 sets of dead-lift singles x 175lbs (50% 1RM) with 2 minutes of rest between sets.
On Monday I'll do 13 sets x 190lbs (55% 1RM).
Tuesday will be 11 sets x 210lbs (60% 1RM).
Wednesday 9 sets x 230lbs (65% 1RM).
Thursday 7 sets x 245lbs (70% 1RM).
Friday 5 sets x 260lbs (75% 1RM).
Saturday 3 sets x 280lbs (80% 1RM).
Repeat on Sunday with an added 5% 1RM (190lbs / 55% 1RM) for the dead-lift and continue pressing the 28kg (70% 1RM) for 2/3 of the sets and a 32kg (80% 1RM) for 1/3 of the sets.

Warm-up (x reps x sets):
24kg Prying Goblet Squats x 3 x 1
24kg TGU x 1/1 x 2
24kg Swings x 10 x 3

Dead-lift x 1
Pull-up x 1
Kettlebell C&P x 1/1
Renegade Row x 1/1
Rest and repeat for prescribed amount of sets.

Alternating days for squats and swings:
32kg Goblet Squat x 3 x 3 or Double 24kg Front Squat x 3 x 3
32kg Swing x 10 x 5 or Double 24kg Swing x 5 x 5

Day = Squats or Swings, and Carries:
