Gpp

[oso0690]

I want to get into gpp work again but I wanted to ask about something. GPP work I used to do was intense for me, because what I would do would tire me totally out after 30 seconds. (I used to do 30 seconds on, 60 seconds off.)

Is gpp work supposed to be hardwork to where you're huffing and puffing?

It depends on what you're trying to accomplish. For me, GPP involves pulling the sled and pushing my car. (With no eccentric portion of the movements, it helps me recover from my regular workouts).

So in my case, some days are harder than others, but usually not so intense that my workouts suffer.

What would you say about the GPP complexes?

A common way to train GPP is with Javoreks complexes (Javorek, 2000). They are all combinations of Olympic and explosive exercises designed to increase GPP, lactic acid threshold, and induce hypertrophy.

Complex #1

Upright row x6
Snatch from the thigh x6
Snatch from the thigh x6
Squat & Press x6
Bent Over row x6
Snatch from the floor x6

Complex #2
Upright row x3
Snatch from the thigh x3
Squat & Press x3
Bent over row x3
Snatch from the floor x3


When training GPP with complexes, do multiple sets (start out with three and work up to six). As with the towing, when you achieve the upper limit on volume (number of sets) increase the intensity (amount of weight).

I also don't know if you do that for time or certain reps with what weight?

I also have another question that popped up from your answer...Is the best GPP work non-eccentric stuff?

GPP stands for General Physical Preperation. the purpose of GPP is to help you with recovery
