@Dan John and
@Pavel, I am not sure if you will have another look at this thread, but I'd like to try and condense the suggestions.
The
backbone of the book is, to me,
the "Easy" idea. In Easy Strength it was of course applied to strength training with lots of examples and variations.
As far as I can see there is the general idea, in line with Zatsiorsky (~ fresh, heavy, often). This could lead to some
practical principles and
recommended programming (Easy Strength, Even Easier Strength, 40-Days) and
recommended variations (for example DMPM, S&S, PTTP, danjohnuniversity.com). What would be the relationship between frequency of training, volume and load? How do ladders come into play? Then there could be more variations (like Justa's Singles or the old Westside DL plan that forms the base for Vodka and Pickles). Ha, maybe even sucess stories. The way Victor trains would also be a great example.
So the 2nd edition could be more of a rearrangement of the presented ideas for the sake of clarity.
The first edition was amazing, providing a patchwork of interesting ideas. The biggest issue for users was probably the
decision making: How do I choose among those interesting options? How do I integrate it with other training? And how do I intergrate my favourite (or available!) modalities into it?
Of course, people would like guidance on the questions above. Integrating KBs, ballistics, endurance training, bodyweight training.
Moreover, a lot of us would appreciate it if you would expand on the fascinating
concept of "Easy X". (Especially while everyone else is busy shouting "no pain, no gain, ONE MORE REP!" and icing their injured elbows.) So, how about Easy Endurance, Easy Conditioning, Easy Flexibility, Easy Maintenance, Easy Waviness? I would love that.
Which would probably lead to the
bigger picture: How does Easy Strength relate to other programming ideas, like peaking, GTG, Soviet Waviness (Plan Strong), or even the conjugate method? In this context the concepts of park/bus bench, quadrants, and training seasons could be interesting. How does it work with block training?
Whatever you choose to do, I am sure it will be great and I am looking forward to it.
