I decided I'd done what I wanted on the Dan John 40-Day Program.  He said he often gets what he wants by workout 20 or 22.  I gave it 30 - six weeks - and was ready to start moving some real weight again.  Since I'd just had a 6x1 day, I backed off my initial 5x5 weights even more.  Better to ease in and progress for a long time.

This training - at least the first day - felt fantastic.  Granted, I was using weights light enough that I completed the 5x5 with only 3:00 rest between all sets.  But I loved lifting as heavy as I did, and already can't weight for next Saturday.  Progression will be fun again.
