Week 7 in the books. Had to switch it up for the first time and didn’t stick to a strict M, W, F plan. I did a M, T, Th and surprisingly enough it didn’t affect my lifts like I thought it would. Overall good week.

How many sets of deadlifts should I be doing? I think I saw in this thread that only one set was required for the GSLP but not to sure

1 set of 5. warm up sets and then hit one set of 5+ (as many reps as possible.)

Thanks. I really like this so far. I started the burpees last week and unfortunately pulled a muscle in my abs. Haven’t done them again since while it heals up

One of my main issues is the dieting part. I’m clueless when it comes to trying to pick my meals for the day. I know you push protein heavy but I just don’t see how to get that much in a 8 hour window

just keep it simple. eat protein plus carbs in your big post workout meal, keep the rest of the meals to protein and veggies. Make sure its 2 palm size protion of protein at each meal. keep the carbs to 1 fist full. Veggies to a palm or two each meal.

drink 100g protein shake after workout.

so assuming 6pm workout and 12-8 eating frame. Adjust how you need. Keep it simple

12- protein veggies
4 or 5- protein and veggies
7- 100g protien shake
730- protein/carbs

I’m doing the GSLP with Greyskull Gladiator Linebacker Focus. Am I reading the workouts right in the morning that I do faster cardio + the burpee challenge? Or is that depending on if I want to do HIIT vs low intensity faster cardio.

Fasted cardio only in the form of walking, working up to 360 min per week.

Burpee challenge is throughout the day and post workout.

Should I go with a 10mm or 13mm belt? I’ve been eyeing the pioneer cut belt...

Great writeup on the GSLP.

When JP first broke away from CrossFit, I had a consult with him. This was in the early stages of what would become the GSLP. We discussed my goals, and he built my training around that. Within a year I had brought my squat up from a 315lb 1RM to doing 405 for 3 sets of 3 followed by a set of 315 for 10 reps.

I think goal setting is something that isn't discussed enough when it comes to training. Other than "hey, I wanna get cock strong," or "It would be nice to look good naked." Having a set goal focuses your energy. Meet or exceed that goal, and other things will fall into place. If you go from a 180lb bencher to a 315lb bencher, you're probably gonna look like a dude that can bench 315 lbs.

I have a little bit of training ADD, where I'll change programs once a year or so. But, I always find myself falling back on GSLP. It just works.

pretty much my expierence with it. It just works. Like he said one time "all progress is linear, or arlteast it better be if you want to make any progress at all"

always stuck with me. I have 2 phone consults and 2 custom programs with him. I still talk to him about once every other month or so through email. Been a while now though.

I should have added another important part of training: your log book. Goals and a log book.

Whenever someone wants to train with me, I tell them to bring a notebook. Invariably, they show up at the gym without one. I tell them the next time they better have a notebook and a pencil with them, or don't bother trying to train with me.

I annoys me to no end when people say they want to train, but don't bother writing shite down. How the hell are you going to know where you're going if you don't know where you are and where you've been?

Oh look, it's Mingo the Contrarian. Thanks for your input. People can do whatever they want to do in the gym; I don't care. But if you come to me, asking me to help you train, I don't think having a notebook and a pencil is too big of a request. Do you?

Obviously not.

I don't think it's worth being a pretentious a-hole about, but I'm not a pretensious a-hole. Ever heard of a smart phone or simply just remembering? I remember at the gym and log at home, not a big deal.


But if you want to train with THE boxcarbarney, you will follow HIS rules despite their being an objectively better alternative. But no one will know how cool you are if you aren't carrying a notebook around the gym, so I get it.

doubtful, most people say that shite and do not log it. its not about remembering what you did last time. Its about examining trends over time and setting rep PRs.

you might drop an exercise due to multiple stalls, when you come back to that exercise 8-9 months later how in the hell are you supposed to know what the PRs are?

not keeping a log book is the number one way to look exactly the same a year from now as you do today.

Yeah, the point of keeping the log

Remembering sets, reps, and weights until you get home is better than, you know, actually writing down the sets as they happen? Objectively so? I have to disagree, but whatever melts your butter.

Dude really? Wtf is wrong with you? Why do you act the way you do?

No offense but you aren't some expert. You weigh a whole 120 lbs. I don't think you should be giving anybody advice on lifting especially someone with as much time under the bar as Barney.

If you are going no to act an arse all the time go play in the misc.
