shouldnt be a problem, just add it slowly.
btw I am slowly adding these templates to the strongur app available on the iphone.
eventually I will have them all in, prolly by the end of the month depending if i can stay ahead during this turnaround.

Well, I haven't worked out in a few weeks since I fractured a rib. I'm planning to get back into some light workouts next week since I'm not hurting much anymore.

I think I'm gonna give this a go. I have some numbers I want to hit with the big 3 by years end and need a set plan to stick to to keep me in line.
I like the looks of this. Seems logical and doable. Thanks for the resources.
I'll post results.

Any thoughts on how legs respond to high frequency bodyweight training? I recently switched to a stand-up desk at work, but I'm thinking of adding some calf raises to my hourly push-up frequency set.
My squat and deadlift numbers are respectable, but I can never get any calf definition. Most of the frequency stuff seems more specific to upper body, but I'm curious to see how the calves respond.
I guess I'll guinea pig it and find out

Calves respond great to it. Ask yourself who has the best calves? Ballet dancers. What do they do, 1000 or so bodyweight calf raises and walking on your toes.
Start low and work your way up.

I just read this because I'm thinking about switching over from starting strength. However I really enjoy running. I'm currently training for a half marathon in October then I'll drop way back to running 3 miles a few times a week. What would be the best way to incorporate Greyskill with 3 days of running 3 miles. It's not that I want to stubbornly hold on to running but more about the guys I've been running with for over a decade. I don't care about tons of muscle, just want to have a nice physique. Any advice?

Yea pretty simple, run on your off days. Get plenty of protein (1.5g per lbs of lean mass minimum) and make sure you eat carbs on all days. Take one full day off per week.

Fat people and hikers also have great calves.

What are your thoughts on immediately jumping into a lifting session after fasted walking?
The idea for me is wake up early, will be groggy, walk fasted until I wake up, down a pre-workout, then lift. Maybe followed by the burpee challenge.
The whole point is not to go to the gym twice a day.
Also, thanks for posting all this. Starting the GSLP tomorrow. You're a huge help.

I think you would be fine doing that but honestly if you are going to lift fasted the. You might as well just get your lift in, do burpee challenege with no walking, fast until noon and eat all your calories between noon and 8 pm like leangains.com protocol.
And honestly the whole point of the fasted walking is it can be done anywhere. Preferred to do it outside.
But do what you can stick to. All these things are very small in the grand scheme were consistency is key.

Thanks for posting all this. I logged on today after a stressful arse weekend at work - haven't been able (or willing, I guess) to workout in days. I was feeling aimless and bored in the gym. I think I'm gonna give this a shot.
Any good links for nutrition? I know the basics and really I'm only concerned about limiting my sugar intake and increasing my protein. I need to dig up some good meal prep recipes and get better at that.

Either use avatar nutrition to get your macros or google if calc and use the following settings
Days lifting-3
Protein settings-3xlbm in kg
Carbs/fat setting-80/20
Set the calories to match your goal either lose 1.5 lbs or so a week or gain 0.75 lbs per week.
For general nutrition info read leangains.com

Thanks for this great post man, needs to be stickied. At 31 I've been out of the gym for 1.5 year and looking for a program to get back on the wagon after doing some "get your arse ready" full body routine for a month now. I previously ran SS and SLs, which I hated every second of and they didn't really help me hit any of my actual goals. Sure I could squat a lot of weight, but it was boring, I felt unathletic, still looked like an overweight 30 year old office worker, and my legs were always so shot I could barely muster the energy to go play some football with my nephews. I just never felt in shape or healthy doing those programs.
I was actually sitting here feeding my daughter in the middle of the night planning out the 5/3/1 beginner program and accessory lifts to begin Monday on my phone when I ran across this post.
Now I have something heavy to chew on.. Suppose I'll read through Greyskulls book in the morning.
Again man, thanks.

Greyskull Update:
Doing something similar to the LB program which has me at the following for last week (for core lifts I simply post the last set of 5 and reps I got):
OH Press: 155(6)
Bench Press: 235(6)
Squat: 225(5) - I know, it's embarrassing
Deadlift: 335(8)
Feeling great on all of those! I'm also doing the Pushup and Burpee Challenges.
For the pushups I'm on sets of 55 per hour, adding one rep per day. I do this 5 days a week, giving my shoulders a break on the weekends. At the current pace, this should have me at the 100 mark by around end of the year.
For the Burpee Challenge I'm up to 4 sets of 30 in a minute and a half each. I do these five (5) days a week. I'm hoping to add 5 reps per week at the current pace of 1 burpee per 3 seconds to get me close to the 100 in 5 minutes challenge.
I do minor assistance and auxiliary lifts, but that's the bulk of it. Really liking it so far. The GF says the shoulders are really starting to show some gainz and she's a fan

Essentially if you are tired of being a fat frick, tired of being weak, tired of being skinny fat, tired of not making progress or just want to be a little more awesome……well this program is for you.

lsu777 - I have a general question about Greyskull which may have been answered already. If so, I apologize. I've been doing the program for about 8 weeks now and am seeing really good results. I haven't had to reset once yet. At what point should I consider maxing out again and recalibrating the working numbers? Should this be done only after a couple of resets? Thanks in advance!
Posted on 9/6/17 at 8:08 pm to steve123
Don't worry about maxing out. If you get more than 10 reps on any of the main exercises besides squats, double the progression for the next session. If you get 10 or less just try to beat the number of reps while adding the prescribed amount weight the next session. On squats...rep those mother frickers out. Legs respond well to higher reps.
Btw if you only get five reps on the last set and the last rep is a grind, you can add half the prescribed weight for the next few sessions.

Went out to the garage today and made a few .75lb fractional plates with some spare chain and zip ties I had laying about.
Starting with incredibly light weight on Monday.

Looking at starting this in a few weeks. Where the heck do you find 1.25 plates? I've checked a couple of places and can't find any.
