True! In the space I work in my advice when asked is if possible, conservative treatment over surgery every day of the week, unless of course it’s deemed necessary.Maxrip13 wrote: ↑Mon May 23, 2022 11:52 pmIt's just time unfortunately to recover because I refuse to get surgery. It's only limiting me at work and not too much so far in general life outside of training.

That was the plan before I read Green Protocol... I just am finishing up a base build as well, so at a bit of a crossroads in what direction I go.
Injury is still screwed, but it just means I can't press or do pullups for the foreseeable future. From 10-15 pullups and 50+ pushups with no training to none and 5 pushups feeling like I am maxing out.
Seems like a good time to get really good at running for a while instead with a well timed TB book release.
GP is definitely handy from the running side of the house, that OP/DUP looks brilliant to play with. Any idea which way you’ll go with GP?
I plan to keep running capacity as I pretty much have for the last couple years unintentionally. I am changing to a Unilateral based Fighter cluster and doubling up my Strength and run days where possible to maximize the endurance side of things. 30-45 mins of mins of strength work into a 30-60 min run is a good way to build capacity and I am including some targeted assistance. This with 3 sessions a week of BJJ is good so far, but I do want to get another long run in somewhere.
I just bought the hard copy of Green from the US to make it easier to read the tables and can reassess from there. I like all the new OP variations to be honest, though the SE percentage based training is my favourite addition. I am going to re read it over the next 4 weeks and decide whether to commit to Velocity after I hit the capacity benchmark. I want to do it at near LSS pace so I am not in a massive rush to go past this point yet.
As usual so many good options, but I need a few weeks to digest and actually work out what the plan is going forward. How about yourself mate? Seems like we are both contemplating a few options.
It’s interesting how sometimes it takes an injury or some other setback to reassess goals! The unilateral cluster sounds good! Looks like you’re getting plenty of base work in. Good that you’re able to keep up with your bjj as well.
Well I’ve looked at I/CAT or running Hybrid/OP, I may swing towards a Hybrid/Hybrid OP template (followed by a capacity base building with OP/Pro) as it seems to fit better with a few of my own goals (maintaining jump rope work, boxing work, skating, and a good hill run), I like the fact that the percentages are slightly lighter (albeit similar to OP/IA), but I like the speed lifts incorporated as well, slightly reminds me of II programming, sort of. As Ross says when it comes to programming, look at a “tuneup, not an overhaul”, that’s always resonated with me.
It looks like GP still isn’t available as a hard copy over here just yet, so for the same reason as yourself
I’ll look into getting the hard copy from the US.
But yes it does seem like we are both looking at a few options, all of them good ones fortunately.
Good to hear from you again!
