re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

Yes, that helps thanks! It is my opinion as well that those standards are relatively high. For you, do you think there are any benefits in pushing your 2min max pushups to 100? Or are the potential benefits not worth the effort/don't align with your current goals?

How would you use plugins to optimise GSLP for specific goals? In particular, I'm after the 100 pushups in 2 mins one. Last time I got after it, I was about 80 before I stopped. I want to give it another try but I also want gain size (especially arm size) in the next few months. Do the increase in size and pushup challenge work well together or would 2-3 sets of close grip pushups to failure following the main work be better? Unfortunately FM chins are not an option at the moment.

Final question, do you also believe in JPs approach of reaching specific levels of fitness/strength before using new exercises (e.g. close grips pushups Vs regular)

If you know, how much are you able to progress weight-wise with each cycle (i.e. the weight at which you've failed 3x5 at one cycle, compared to the previous one?). Also, when going up in weight with the +5 set being around 8ish reps, do you always increase by the smallest possible increment as per book?

Bailey, I would personally be interested in finding out about your experience with teampain. I'm sure a few of us have thought about it and since it costs a lot of money, an honest review would help people out.

You are meant to train those exercises hard. So, you are meant to approach/reach failure within the prescribed rep range.

That's cool! Have you ever rotated in higher reps as well? For example, 3x8+ -> 3x5+ -> 3x3+ ? Or would you stick to 3-5 rep range for the main lifts?

Thank you for the great resources and tips. I'll try and figure out which one it is and fix it.

LSU, that's the clearest explanation of the GSLP method I've ever read (and I own GSLP3). This is truly motivating.

I'm looking forward to your explanation of the Gladiator series. I know you suggest that people should train for performance so I'm not sure what the aim of that book is (currently can't afford to buy it).

Have you ever faced upper trap neck strain when overhead pressing and any advice on how to work around it?
