more easy strength musings

Easy strength
Focus on barbell strength and absolute load
Stay with light weights longer (1-2 weeks)
Move light weights FASTER
Upper body calisthenics pulls can be weighted to work towards more complex skills in the same movement pattern (ex: bw row, add weight to row, tuck lever row, and so on)
The goal is raising the floor of what is piss ass easy
Do not skip warmups (humane burpee) and cool downs (basic mobility)
At no point should the weights feel heavy

Everything else. I e. I ain't got no sport lt Dan.
Focus on non barbell strength. Kett bells, sandbags, clubs, bodyweight. These implements aren't magic, they're just easier to transport into a sunny area.
Easy strength is the warmup. 
Stop when things get tight. You are coming back tomorrow.
Think less in terms of programs and splits and more in the case of practicing key full body movements.

Final
This is not a route to hypertrophy, but hypertrophy and fat loss will happen.
The biggest nag I feel is that bodyweight circuits make me FEEL better. More blood flow. This sounds more like an afternoon lifting problem than an easy strength problem.
Lady gains: Fast until lifting has happened. If possible fast until dinner.
