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?
