Daily Report:
Notes: This was the 10th day of Dan John's 40 day workout. So far I really like it. Hit an easy double on the deadlift at 335# as well as an easy double at 225# on the bench press. I have been doing leg extensions, hamstring curls and back extensions every day and I feel much sturdier on both the squat and deadlift. Swings are becoming much easier as well.

Daily Report:
Notes: First day of Dan Johns 40 day workout. Going to try to learn how to auto-regulate my lifts based upon how I feel that day. This means that I need to be more dialed in nutrition wise and also in my recovery. My reasoning on trying this program is that it will allow me to still strength train while being able to log miles running at a slow easy pace. In order for my workouts to be sustainable I need to learn auto-regulation, which I am excited to try. Hopefully this program will allow me to build up a solid base strength level.
