GPP benefits

[oso0960]

What are the benefits of doing GPP on the same day as your workout? and should the be done before or after the workout?

Why do it on the same day? Assuming you're not lifting every day, there are plenty of other days to do it on. You'll get more benefit from spreading it around.

well I was thinking about doing maybe 2 sets of Javoreks Complex #1 every day then have the weekend off for rest. :

Javorek's Barbell Complex # 1. Exercise:

Barbell Upright Row x 6
Barbell High Pull Snatch x 6
Barbell Behind the Head Squat Push Press x 6
Barbell Behind the Head Good Morning x 6
Barbell Bent Over Row x 6


Perform in a non-stop, continuous order as listed above

During the preparatory phase, these exercises can be performed every day for two to three sets or the recommended five to six sets three times per week. Throughout the competitional period, these exercises should be used as a warm-up, performing two sets every day plus three times per week with a heavier weight for three sets.

So do you think I would be better off doing that maybe 4 sets on tues, thurs, and sat (my workout is mon wed fri)?

Whatever you do, whether it's a weight training, cardio or a GPP workout, you'll need time to recover from it. If you do too much, you'll just end up burying yourself after a few weeks and not making progress on anything.

You don't say what your goals are - it's impossible to say what's best when you don't say what you're trying to achieve . Assuming your focus is on getting stronger, I'd do what you said at the end. If you start to feel run down after a while, scale back the GPP a bit.

Hope that helps.
