re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

I recommend doing a reset with pause bench. I find it helped me greatly before. When ever I get to a reset, I’ll probably do so.

Like others have said switch the exercise out. Do something else for chest for a while and get strong as shite in it. I recommend weighted dips or close grip bench.
Other options are paused bench, incline bench, DB flat or incline, decline, board press, weighted pushups etc.

Did someone say pause bench? Let me put on my +5 hat of weaponsmithing and talk about that.

That's what happens when you listen lol, you been doing bro split BS forever now, this is what happens when you follow a real program

Feels good. Squats haven't been comfortable so switched to doing 2x3, 3+
Diet has been shite, but have been doing extra cardio. Homework is helping tremendously with chin-ups. On "off days" I do 10 rounds of 5 chinups and 10 pushups for totals of 50 and 100. Easily the sickest pump. Then I hit the stair master for 15-20 minutes.
Considering running RFL for 2 weeks before memorial day weekend.

Do you think it could be beneficial to add in 100 reps of cable crunches and 30-35 reps of calves on my “off days” to pair with my pushups and chin-ups ?
Posted on 5/13/18 at 1:37 pm to lsu777
GSLP is pretty legit. I’m looking forward to the first reset. I’m still staying above ten reps on all my lifts so it may be a while before I do. My big issue is eating on the weekend. Mon-Fri I eat pretty clean. But the weekend involves beer, Tex-Mex and pizza. I’m working on it, but it’s tough.

Review the challenges book linked above. Look at #9 & #10. Add in the sit-ups daily and start working towards an l-sit using hanging leg raises variations. What I mean by that is start at it hanging knee raises for 4-6 weeks. Then go to hanging leg raises, then toes to bar strict, then to lsits on parrallettes then lsits in rings.
When you can complete those two challenges you won't really have anything to worry about.
Don't over do it though with the rapid fatloss diet and then a tons of volume.
In general for greyskull the following ab exercises are used
Leg raises/ L-sit variations
Sit-ups, also with ghd
Ab rollouts with rings or wheel
Thats it.

Can someone point me to what we are supposed to be doing as far as pushup and crunches on the off days?
I think I said before that my main area of focus right now is tightening up my chest, trying to make sure I'm doing right on off days.
As far as crunches go, I've been doing the 6 pack in 30 days app.

Good chance that I put the homework on hold during the 2 week RFL. Just filling my evenings with a ton of walking.

Writing up my next cycle/reset as we speak for tomorrow (to start for tmorrow) Just to be clear did you say I should just do a reset taking 20% off and sticking to same basic template I was doing which was 4 main lifts , curls, inverted rows, and chin/push up homework? Would your asthetics template of GSLP be suitable? I’m 45, manual labor mailman job, doing two interval conditioning sessions now for getting my arse in shape for 3-4 weekend backpacking trips I do during the summer? Would the asthetics one be too much work or no? Would the bare bones GSLP I’m doing two or three x a week still be better to repeat again? Or Stuff the sleeves? Thanks just clarifying as I get it down on paper for tomorrow?
Posted on 5/13/18 at 8:32 pm to Bailey25
If trying to cut still I would not do aesthics or stiff the sleeves. Save those for when trying to gain.
I would stick to the simple linebacker template or phracks version.

Frequency method push-ups and crunches spelled out on the first page.
Posted on 5/13/18 at 8:56 pm to lsu777
I must be missing it. I see where it says to do one of 3 methods, but I'm not seeing any explanation of those methods.
I need to get my lazy arse to read that book I guess haha. I can work out all day and run around with the kids, but I hate reading so I struggle with making myself do that

Start with 75 reps daily for pushups and sit-ups. Don't go to failure, get the work in and add 5 reps weekly.
See the challenges i.e. 100 pushups in 2 min to be considered good at pushups.

Can you split those 75 reps up, or do we need to do then at once?
