re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

So far more sets / more volume on the pushups/chinups has meant more muscle 'swoleness' for me!

30 sets may seem excessive but it's what I'm moving towards at the moment (not done daily though).

I can only imagine how powerful 30 sets of burpees would be too.

I agree you’re getting volume in with body weight work but just gotta be careful with tendinitis issues is my only concern

Looks good. Don't focus too much on rows though. I mean if you are going to keep them in, attach the shite out of them, but I'm rows are the most over prescribed exercise and outside of seal rows is completely over rated. This is due to people inadvertently cheating at heavier weights or as they progress or when they get tired.

You never know if you truly got stronger or you just used better leverage this time. Johnny pain talks about this andartin Berkham has been harping on this the last few weeks.

you gonna be doing wobble in two days

100 per day

Thoughts on lowering calories and/or reducing carbs significantly on non-lifting days?

Thanks so much for all the info you've posted! I know it probably takes alot of time to research and/or come up with all of this.

I just finished going through the RFL diet program for 6 wks a 2nd time and I liked all the elements from this program you suggested I incorporate (fasted walking, exercises, etc.). Looking forward to starting GSLP soon.

I read through every link you posted so far and I'm towards the end of the GSLP book. I was wondering if you'd mind giving one more "anonymous S.O.B" access to your drive so I could do some more reading? Thanks!

My bad. I guess "J.M."? Email address is like my ID here. Thanks again for the generosity!

The sets should of FM pushups should never be hard. Its not the total reps that is getting you, it's the reps per set. So if you are doing on average 5*20 let's back that down to 7*15 or even 10*10. Add 2 reps every two weeks.

Also to help fatigue let's back that down to 5 days a week with a break after the first 3 days and again the last day of each week

So just wanted to post my plan. I am 32 6'4" 192 lbs. I lifted weights alot until 2012. Pretty much only done body weight workouts/p90x routines until 18 months ago. I started stronglifts then and have done it 3 days a week since. I have recently just hit a huge wall with it that I couldn't get past so I decided to look for something different. Stumbled across this thread and it sounded like exactly what I needed. Today was day one. I dropped about 20 to 25 lbs from each of my lifts from my last day of stronglifts.


Today I did bench, barbell row, squats, dips, and incline dumbbell press.

Pros:

1. It really helps having the amrap at the end. I feel like that is going to help break through the wall

2. Doing squats towards the end definitely had me fresher

3. I was done in about 45 minutes as apposed to 90 minutes my last day of stronglifts


Cons:

Really the only thing is the app. The stronglifts app is just about perfect and works well with my Android Wear watch. The workout trainer app is ok, but not nearly as good.



So my goals are to add about 10-15 lbs of lean muscle. I have lost 10 lbs since January as my wife wanted to do Paleo, so I am trying to gain that back in muscle. I would also like to define my chest more. From the front my chest looks fine, but from the side it looks slightly saggy unless I flex. I am going to try to really focus this program on chest for at least the first couple of months.

So any tips or notes anyone has I would gladly accept. Although I consider myself to be a pretty fit person, I am by no means a weight lifting expert.
