During all my cycles of Easy Strength, I always used a constant load and kept pounding at it until it became ridiculously easy.

Then I bumped the load significantly and start all over again.



Interesting. My son borrowed all my dumbells for the basement in his student house this year, and I was wondering if I should buy more instead of just pressing the same 20kb bell every night. I guess I'll just keep going, and get myself a 24 around Christmas!




You can always try Pat Flynn's version of E.S.: three entire months doing 2x1-2-3 almost daily and keeping the load constant.

I must confess I don't really have the patience for it but, provided the initial load is heavy-ish enough (so it won't become stupidly easy within the first weeks), it's a very interesting choice.
"I think we often spend too much time focusing on max fitness
and not nearly enough on maintaining our minimums.
It seems we need to think sustainable rather than obtainable.
Meaning whatever we do today, we can do it again tomorrow.
Never taking so much from ourselves that we can't."
