I gave a friend of mine the 40day workout, he did it while mountainbiking three-four times a week at a fairly high level.
This is what he had to say:
Today I officially finished Easy Strength (ES) after 43 workouts. I added some extra workouts due to 6 days off after some lower back pain. In general I liked the program, as it's never "heavy" and rarely makes you feel fatigued afterwards. ES is a bit frustrating as it takes some time to get results (people usually get results in the second half of the program) and you don't workout hard. I didn't feel much strength increase in the last five workouts.
My results are the following:
Sumo DL: I quit this exercise as bad technique hurt my back. Did squats and romanian deadlift instead, but didn't do them the "ES way".
Bench press: From 50 kg (2x5, felt light, could probably have lifted more at that time) to 70 kg (3x3, would probably have made 2x5 at 67,5 kg, didn't find the correct weights at the gym today).
Chin-ups: From half-chins bodyweight (2x5) to BW+12,5 kg (2x5).
Forward bent reverse flies w/squeeze (https://youtu.be/16ZFEUpFEv4?t=151): From 4 kg (2x5) to 8 kg (2x5).
I also improved in strength in loaded carries (Farmer's walk (FW), one-handed FW (suitcase walk), waiter's walk) and high leg raises.
