Great post, thank you!Since you want to do Schedule A, if I were you I would take video of myself doing a single KB clean, press, and clean-and-press, then compare to the videos of Geoff and his students doing the same moves. These should be the videos provided with Easy Muscle.
Maybe write a checklist of the cues for the clean and the press, and go through the checklist as you analyze video of yourself.
If you want to do double KB C&P, I read elsewhere that Geoff advises walking with both KBs racked as part of your transition from single to double KB work.
In the FAQ the answer to "5. Can I do { INSERT EXERCISE OF CHOICE HERE } along with ‘EASY MUSCLE’?" indicates that you can do Pull Ups, Squats, or Rows along with Schedule A. But also note the warning that inserting extra exercises might impact your recovery. Your muscle growth actually happens during recovery. The exercise is just a stimulus. With your back history, OS Dead Bug might be the best choice of auxiliary exercise.

How to Train Your Core to Prevent Injury
It's easy to say that your core is strong enough, until that day when you feel a telltale "sproing" and are put out of commission. This protocol is the missing element in your big lifts!www.bodybuilding.com
If you bought Manly Mobility along with Easy Muscle, you would be doing OS Dead Bug as part of the mobility routine. There, you are also advised to work up to 4 sets of 25.
I will look into these. I couldn't get my video link to work, so I may need to email Geoff. But good idea on doing the self form checks. If I don’t see anything obvious to my own eye maybe I’ll post a form check somewhere.
I hadn't heard about the walking with the KB's racked. I've been doing farmers walks already, but not in the rack - going to add that.
Will look into the OS deadbug. Had been adding a small amount of reps of McGill’s Big 3 along that same thought process.
Thanks again for the thoughtful post, much appreciated
