Day 6 of the Even Easier Strength template and I'm finally getting this dialed in. You have to choose the weights carefully so that they feel "easy". Slow descent and fast on the up. If you go too heavy, you will not properly recover by the next workout and lose ground. It's nice to complete the workout and feel a boost. My knees at long last are feeling better...turns out I just needed to squat. Who knew?

Day 7 (tomorrow-Tuesday) will be 6 singles day and Day 8 (Wednesday) will be a tonic 1x10 reps day for active recovery. Day 9 (Friday) will be a 2x5 rep day and Day 10 (Sunday) will be the 3-5-2 reps "test your strength" day.

Somewhere in the mix (Saturday) , the Dixon Games will happen.

BTW, I think the hidden key to the Even Easier Strength template is loaded carries (waiter walks).
