GPP work

Devinm Posts: 270 Joined: 2006/06/01	2006/10/23, 06:58 PM I am going to start Chad Waterbur's routine called the Waterbury Method. Three days a week are devoted to working out and three are devoted to medium intensity jogging or GPP work. Can someone please explain to me what GPP work is? -------------- Veni,Vidi,Vici.= I came, I saw, I conquered.- Ceasar

Just did a google and there's quite a few hits: this link is so long that I doubt it will paste correctly - Just do a google search for gpp work and it comes up. http://www.google.com/search?hs=LU8&hl=en&lr=&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial_s&q=gpp+work&btnG=Search

I suggest you go to West Side Barbell website, or this on http://www.elitefts.com/, or the others many have mentioned in your powerlifting thread and FREAKING READ! -------------- Stop freaking talking about what you squat and SHOW ME WHAT YOU SQUAT! 7707mutt@freetrainers.com

Devinm Posts: 270 Joined: 2006/06/01	2006/10/24, 05:44 PM I read a few things and now i know what GPP work is. It is not my whole program so i dont know why you guys are telling me not to do it. Its just like 2 days a week. Anyway, now i have another question. Is there any GPP that can be done at the gym because i dont really own any weights or sleds that i can use outside of the gym. -------------- Veni,Vidi,Vici.= I came, I saw, I conquered.- Ceasar

Devinm Posts: 270 Joined: 2006/06/01	2006/10/24, 05:54 PM no i do know what GPP work is. One example is farmers walk where you hold heavy weights in each hand and walk with it. Another is tire flipping which would be like a farm tire which are heavy. Another is sled pulls where you attach a sled to your back with weight on it and jog or walk with it. However, all of these must be done outside of the gym. I wanted to know if anyone knows of any similar things that can be done inside the gym. -------------- Veni,Vidi,Vici.= I came, I saw, I conquered.- Ceasar

Devinm Posts: 270 Joined: 2006/06/01	2006/10/24, 06:08 PM wat did i just say? Youre only critiquing not helping. Why dont you name for me a GPP workout that can be done at the gym? -------------- Veni,Vidi,Vici.= I came, I saw, I conquered.- Ceasar
yadmit Posts: 4,670 Joined: 2003/10/05	2006/10/24, 06:10 PM Dude... you're not winning any friends. Think about it... what could you do similar to a tire flip in the gym? Probably not much without getting thrown out. Farmer's walk... get the heaviest dumbells you can carry and walk... I don't think there's a whole helluva lot you can swtich from GPP to the gym, which, I believe, is the purpose of the GPP. If you want help quit being short with people.
