re: Pen and Paper Strength App
Posted by Smlak1978 on 11/20/21 at 4:42 pm
When you guys finish a program, do you max out again for a new program or just increase max by 5 for bench and 10 for legs and start a new one?...

My experience would definitely be new as pertains to programming. I have been running GSLP since I joined this board. Some inconsistency during spring of '20 but consistently for over a year. Have made some solid gains on it compared to where I started. I know you have said it can be ran for years, ...

Anyone have a recommendation on which order to purchase and run these programs? I have tried to find info online for a good direction and not getting much. Thought about doing The Grasshopper which would lead right into Deadcember time. ...

As a general rule, if you fail to hit 5 on your main lift AMRAP would you try the same weight again next session or go ahead and reset?...

re: Tracking Macros
Posted by Smlak1978 on 2/17/20 at 1:19 pm
Yeah this is where I would like to get to. I figure if I start tracking it daily for long enough then it will eventually become habit and more of second nature when looking at foods....
Tracking Macros
Posted by Smlak1978 on 2/16/20 at 3:03 pm
Has anyone tried the My Macros+ app? If so do you like it. Would you prefer it over MFP? I seen it was made by a bodybuilder/powerlifter. ...

Posted by Smlak1978 on 2/7/20 at 11:14 am
Sounds good! Thanks for the feedback. I will work on the conditioning for those days. I will look up the villain ones and see what they consist of and just keep on trying to knock those reps and heavier weights out. The navy seal circuit I do now is ok but I have a feeling I will end up needing more...
re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer
Posted by Smlak1978 on 2/6/20 at 3:37 pm
I have also started to add some conditioning in but nothing from the villain stuff. I have started doing what I call Navy Seals again which consists of some toe touches and body weight squats with high knees, pushups with mountain climber style kicks in a circuit 2 rounds EMOM. Not sure if you have ...

And feel free to slap me back to reality if I am too far gone or criticize my ideas however needed or tell me the determination it will take to accomplish these goals. I have no problems with any of that. I can handle it. Just trying to do the work and be successful and find the best path to getting...

To be completely honest I am not even sure what honest realistic goals are for me considering my age and body composition but my unrealistic goals would be this from one of your previous posts.

Halfway through week 10 and wondering how to proceed next after week 12. Not really looking to take a week off. My daghter plays high school softball and travel softball so in a couple months I will have to be getting creative sometimes with my workout anyways so for now I would like to just keep mo...

Sounds good I do have a tendency to do that about a lot of things in life lol..... I added the bring sally up challenge to the end of squat days because I struggle on the low end of my squat to keep good form (knees rolling in and feeling like I don't have a lot of power in the lower part of it) I u...
re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer
Posted by Smlak1978 on 2/3/20 at 1:52 pm
Yeah that's how I am doing it now although I haven't switched to weighted yet on the chins. I do 2x5 and a AMRAP figured when I hit 10 I would start adding some weight...
re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer
Posted by Smlak1978 on 2/3/20 at 1:23 pm
So after continuing to read I have another question.
Should I drop the Yates row from my workout and just continue to do chin ups in place of them at least until I am advanced in to weighted chins? Initially I thought doing the rows might help to increase my chins but am starting to think that m...

Yeah lol thanks man! I have been trying to do more of that lately in terms of how to work out correctly. I also have me a place at work to do my FM chins and push ups throughout the day now so that is a big plus for doing my body weight homework and getting excited to see how that helps me progress....

As I continue to read this thread I realize how annoying my first post probably was but I still greatly appreciate the wealth of information on here and how much direction it has given me. Also I would like to add while never being strong I did spend my teenage years and early adulthood being overly...
