I think this is the version I'm going to go with to try and burn some fat. frick burpees, but it's time to nut up.

Will it be a big deal if I add a workout of strictly arms on saturdays? 6 sets of some type of curl variation and 6 sets of tricep work?

I too have consulted with John a couple of times and love the program. When I was laid off a few years back I made the best gains of my life on the program. I have since strayed and due to being older (44) and working a tough more physical job as a mailman, sporadic lower back issues etc my strength has suffered. This thread is invaluable and I have decided to commit to this for the next year. I had a few questions though. I’m just keeping it basic and doing the base program with frequency pushups, band assisted chin ups using nightly ladders and just a couple plug ins such as barbell curls and a row variant such as inverted body weight rows or chest supported dumbbell rows. I like doing and believe in going heavier for barbell curls, can those go to a 1x5, 1x5+ set up or similar to your close grip suggestion go to a 1 or 2x8, 1x8+ set up? 2nd question, if recovery becomes an issue can I have two days in between workouts and work off of a 9-10 day “week” or micro cycle? Last question, I am very weak in body weight movements, if I do frequency pushups is 4-5 x a day sufficient? If I can only do 15 push-ups before coming close to failure should I do frequency sets of 7-8 to begin? How should these be programmed to progress over the coming weeks?

Thanks

I've been following greyskull for 9 weeks now. I'm coming up to my deload week where I plan on completely resting and taking 5% off when I come back. Do I continue to do the body weight homework during this rest? (I've been doing ladder for push ups and chin ups).

Btw I'm loving this I've put on 25 lbs 5 rep max squat, 10 bench and haven't had to deload deads yet.

I'm reading his method now. I like working out 4 times a week, but I've also been rock climbing / skiing too, so I may not do his 4 times a week method.

Hey lsu777
I bought the book and I really like this template from the book. But I feel like it's missing barbell rows or weighted dips? How would you plug them in?

Also, should I add dips to the "homework"?

Or maybe I should scratch everything and just use your hypertrophy template?

Thanks.

Your write up has a section concerning body weight exercises being critically important, "homework". But, the fat loss programming has no mention of including this where as some others do. Should I be including frequency method burpees right now or not?

Also, suggestions for the 20-minute aerobic solution for T/TH?
