May I ask you what is your reasoning for choosing GLP over OP? Thanks!

Well, its a coin toss I guess. Right now I feel that my layoff has pushed me back to beginner level strength. A few years back while doing powerlifting I used GSLP to get back if I had a set back from being sick etc to get back, and it always worked well for me. Other than that, I really love the AMRAPS as well as the GSLP-resets
