Good morning
1x10x65

Today, I feel every one of those deadlift reps.

I don't believe I ever talked much about the Dan John curls. Basically it's a power curl (see video here: Frozen Kilt does power curls. BTW Sean posts over on NASGA under the name "Sean".)

Dan John once talked about doing 100 reps by breaking them down into manageable sets like 2-3-5-10 and then doing that rep scheme five times. If you decide to try this out, start out with a reasonable weight. 50 reps is a lot of work. 100 reps is twice as much.

That's the story behind the Dan John curl. Next cycle I will switch out the curls for overhead presses.
