re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

[quote]man sounds like you are pretty much doing what you can. I would try maybe resetting one more time and then instead of rotating the lifts, might want to look at some other form of programming like 531 or the PPSA programs. many here have been getting great gains on ppsa and 531 is tried and tr...

Alright, felt like updating after almost a month. I was able to start home workouts again with neutral grip chin ups and push ups. I reset bench to 55 kg and got 17 reps, OHP to 35 kg and 14 reps and squat to 80 kg and 17 reps. I've been doing 10x5 and 5x10 for bench/OHP after work sets. I'm getting...

[quote]at some point you are going to have to eat more to get the lifts to go up. and yes volume will work, but i would be mindful of adding too much volume at one time. I would either pick the lower body lifts to add volume to or the 2 main upper body lifts. Would add any more volume to the pushing...

Thanks for the tips. I managed to hit 49 kg in OHP (barely 3x5) this week, but only 3 reps in the last set of 68 kg bench today. Last time I got 5,4,3 with the same weight, so kinda eh progress. I'll try 68 kg one more time next week, and I'll add the volume sets for bench/ohp/squat after next reset...

I've been doing greyskull since I posted in July, gotten some progress on every lift but stalling a bit now: Bench ~50 kg > failed 68 kg two weeks ago and back up to 65 kg today, got two more reps than last time. OHP ~36 kg > failed 48 kg three weeks ago, been quite hard to progress, several r...

Two weeks back on greyskull and doing well except for squats. I managed to irritate my elbows doing low bar squats earlier. I did more high bar style squats for a bit and then lowered the position again, and this Monday my elbows started hurting pretty bad again... I tried putting the bar as high as...

Thanks for the answers. Yeah I just read some review of the program last December and just started doing it. Adding home workouts now as well. I was just wondering about the workout order because in some variations squat/DL are listed before some of the smaller lifts. I'll try doing everything el...

I was doing greyskull for half a year but got stuck on lifts and got bored etc. I also modified it probably a bit too much and was starting workouts with squats and added too many additional lifts. I tried AllPro for a few weeks but I'm not really liking it. I just read the greyskull book and fou...
