re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

Ok, thanks for putting all this information together

How long before you guys hit a reset? I’m 4 weeks in and at double digit reps. I think week 5 will have some drops.

I started off at roughly 70% of my maxes. So far, still climbing up. And I do think press will be the first to reset.

As far as calories go, diet is something I struggle with. I am progrssively getting better, but it’s a struggle. I had a protein shake after lifting. I tried to do IF until noon, but I work a pretty physical job and need the fuel. For lunch I had a shrimp wrap in a spinach tortilla with onions, red bellpeppers, spinach and argula seasoned to taste. For dinner I am having ground turkey penne pasta made with chickpea noodles that are really high in protein. I snack on mixed nuts throughout the day to curb hunger.

Need to be able to do 2 sets of 20+ reps with the weight for both sets before backing down to 15 and adding a third. Do this for every jump in weight. Add reps each time Kroc rows comes up, once you reach 20+ on the two sets, add a third. When you reach 20+ on all three, you move up in weight.


For the record, Kroc rows are done until complete failure, 3-5 min between sets. The last few reps should be stupid crazy ball Busters but form should not fail.

I have them all except his new book. LINK

Thank you!

Hey man, since you have experience with JP etc, do you have any insights into his personal finance coaching methods etc? Was just reading through his blog posts and thought they were interesting.

I recognise this probably isnt the right thread to ask this but it seems Greyskull relevant.

Time to update to keep me honest.

This was my last update:

Today was week 6, day 1 for me (did Press and Squats this AM). 

My lifts have progressed as follows: 

Bench 190 x 12 -> 225 x 10 
Press 105 x 10 -> 140 x 8 
Squat 255 x 7 -> 305 x 9 
DL 245 x 6 -> 275 x 7

I finished week 8 this AM. I'm still progressing solidly on bench and squats. Had to step back a little on DL and OHP. I realized my form was getting shitty (arching back too much on OHP, rounding back a little on DL), so I dropped some weight and focused more on form.

Week 8 AMRAP:

Bench 242.5 x 6
Press 140 x 7
Squat 330 x 7
DL 275 x 6


Feeling good. Lower back is feeling much better. Very happy with my progress so far.

6 days a week. Goal is to slowly build to a very high amount of volume.

What are your goals? Sit-ups, ring rows, dips, burpees, l-sits, ab rollouts and handstand holds can all be layered in one at a time. Pretty much any bodyweight or static bodyweight movement can be used.

Most you would want to do is one ab movement, burpees, and then the traditional pushups and chins.

Different variations of pullups and pushups can eventually be used too.

The goal though is to max out pushups and chins. Then move to a harder variant of pushups onelce the challenge is completed andentually complete chinup challenege.

Then you can use bodyweight movements can be used to bring up lagging body parts.
