DL Triples with ES (13 & 14)

Another repeat but slightly different for this two-week block applying the principles from the book "Easy Strength" to build up my strength to be able to easily follow a similar format from a blog article on StrongFirst.com and using all of the six basic movements from Dan John's book "Intervention"; a push, pull, hinge, squat, carry, and "roll, kneel, and lunge". I'll begin with a warm-up of prying goblet squats, TGUs, and two-handed swings. After a dead-lift set of triples, I'll add 3 body-weight pull-ups, a 28kg clean & press x 3/3 for half of the sets and a 32kg for the other half, a 16kg renegade row x 3/3, and then after all sets are finished, alternating days of squats or swings and two-hand carries (See below).

Today I did 5 sets of dead-lift triples x 230lbs (65% 1RM) with 5 minutes of rest between sets.
On Tuesday I'll do 5 sets x 245lbs (70% 1RM).
Wednesday will be 4 sets x 260lbs (75% 1RM).
Thursday 3 sets x 280lbs (80% 1RM).
Friday 3 sets x 300lbs (85% 1RM).
Repeat on Monday with an added 10lbs per day for the dead-lift and press a 32kg for 2/3 of the sets and a 28kg for the remainder.

24kg Prying Goblet Squats x 3 x 1
