All lifts felt good and explosive. The squat @ 230 was legit A2G. A little slower than I would have liked but full ROM for the first time ever. For the ab rollouts I used 10#'s on the bar as opposed to 45#'s and it seemed a lot harder. I planned on more reps but did 1 in a 2nd set and felt like if I did more I'd risk injury so I shut it down for the day. Felt surprisingly tired towards the end of the squats.

130420 Dan John Even Easier Strength: Day 0

Came across the Even Easier Strength program on Dan John's site and thought it would be great strength work for Kevin. Decided I'll roll with it too for 8 weeks and see what happens. Ultimately I'd like to get my strength up for the Oly lifts and metcons.
