Re: abovetheline's Log

BLOCK 1 - WEEK 4 - BASEBUILD Failed on my last set of pullups on Tuesday this week. Tried again on Wednesday and got the req'd reps. Then noticed I was getting a sore throat Wednesday which has now evolved into a full-blown cold. Missed Thursday, Friday, and Saturday's workouts and stayed home from...

Which greyskull template are u following bro ? How's ur routine like?
Following Phrak's Variant.

ABA BAB

A - BB ROW/BP/SQ
B - PU/OHP/DL

DL stays fixed at only once a week. So squatting 2x week.


I would recommend it over SS/SL for sure.

Re: Transition from LP to TB

Good luck, I think you'll enjoy it. The other point that I forgot to make about LP, straight from the horse's mouth: Rippetoe says that during the LP, especially when it starts to get challenging, you should do the following: 1. Eat like a horse. He suggests 4,000+ kcal/day. 2. Do NO conditioning. ...

Re: Transition from LP to TB

You are both right regarding LP being a short-term tool. I was originally only planning to run GSLP for 3 months and that is about where I am at now with it. I was then going to switch to 5/3/1, but am now going to go with TB. Honestly it probably does not matter if I go with TB or 5/3/1 in the long...

Transition from LP to TB

Just read both TB books and am interested in Operator-Black Pro. I'm a CO in a Canadian jail and feel this is the protocol that would be of most benefit as I am sprinting (more or less) to codes within the jail and assisting other officers restraining fighting or unruly inmates. I am currently runni...
