Preface: I have just purchased Brett Jones's Mind The Gaps and have access to Original Strength programming. After much hard work with a variety of therapists, I still seem to have a lingering issue on my upper left side which flares on a regular basis. I am just starting Brett's video series...

I remember Dan saying that for ABC a good start would be alternating 2x and 1x per week with another program alternating the opposite (I hope that makes sense). I’m wondering how to add in pressing volume and pull-ups without over taxing myself. (Like a different training on my “off days” not...

Hello StrongFirst community, On page 109 of easy strength, the 2nd principle of “three ladders and three rungs” is discussed by Dan John. The specific example Dan used is Pavel’s ETK ROP program and mentions that 3 ladders and 3 rungs are what he found best to work the slow grinding movements...

specifically dan johns definition: push, pull, hing, squat, loaded carry, everything else. When ever I don't know what to do resently I follow these movement patterns, and try and chose intelligent varieties of each. It's been working great for me and I really enjoy my training! The template I...

As with most anything Dan John I thought this: Pull Ups was an outstanding read. I'm more of a rep with bodyweight rather than add weight to my pull ups guy. However, the line on "if all you did was pull ups and swings or goblet squats you would be doing pretty well" had me nodding. Imagine...

Hey Guys. I`m currently working on getting a 200 kg. deadlift as a primary goal. Right now i have a max DL of 165 kg, pull-up at 15, and a military press of 60 kg. With my job in law-enforcement and martials-arts training i am able to build stength three times a week. I have been doing...

I'm going to be starting my first Easy Strength cycle tomorrow and am not sure on which squat to include: pistol or double kb front squat. My pistols are a bit rusty (bodyweight only at this point) and my starting weight for the double kb front squat would be a pair of 53#s, which are...
