So if I do 45, 50, and 55 one week and hit 8 on 55, then next week is 50, 55, and 60?

No you do the same weight each set. For example:

45 5 times for first set
45 5 times for second set
45 as many as possible for third set

Next workout you would do 50 for the same rep scheme, and continually increase the weight every workout until you can only get 5 on the third set.

I always suggest starting with 13 down which is 13 kb swings with 56lbs and 13 burpees.

That one is a goddamn gut check. I do that one, and I really like the 10 minute dumbbell snatch challenge. The sandbag challenges are fun too.

It's easy bro, it's why I suggested it. Nothing to worry about.

thats a damn good time. Harder than it sounds though huh?

Yesterday finished W10. Starting to hit a wall. I think I’m close to a 2nd reset on OHP and a reset on FB Bench. Lower body lifts are still progressing although I generally didn’t have a great week this week strength wise which I think a lot of which was due to mental fatigue.

Hey LSU, things going well except Chins. Pushups and the GSLP is really helping with physique, feeling stronger on those and the lifts. Back is feeling good ever since doing goblet squats and up to 25 reps on 8+ set with 65 lb Hex Dumbbell.

I am so thoroughly confused on how to progress on the negatives though. Still back to not being able to do a full chin up. It’s not like I’m fat or pathetically small. I’m 6’3 215ish and actually look like I lift, haha... I can lower under control for 10+ seconds and if I rest quite a bit can lower up to 30+ seconds with a couple static holds thrown on on the way down. If I don’t rest between each negative after 2-3 reps I lose it a bit and it’s a struggle. If I do these every day I feel it hurts my recovery and taxes me quite a bit . However I haven’t really tried doing them daily for more than 3-4 days in a row. I’m confused on how many to do, how to make them progressive, how many seconds rest I can allow myself between each negative and so on?? I found this plan and it’s very detailed but seems convulated and would take me a year before I’m attempting unassisted chin up. Should I give it a go ir take a different approach?

Any thoughts or suggestions is greatly appreciated, thanks 777

Thanks,

How long should you stay on one program? I started GSLP with Phraks variant about a month ago, things are going well, I also am running in Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Just thinking ahead and curious how long I should stay on a plan and if, when its time to switch, would it be ok to stay in GSLP and just do another version like aesthetics?

Do u know John? I ask because I ordered his book almost 3 weeks ago from his online store and I haven't received any shipping notifications and I have emailed the support email a few days ago and nobody is responding. Didn't see a number to call, wanted to check and see the status. Anxious to get the hard copy

Doing the LSU777 GSLP for Hypertrophy with Rotating Lifts... the behind the neck presses is hurting my shoulder. I was wondering what is a good replacement for that is. Been doing seated ohp for last few times.
Thanks

Oh and work on your mobility.
