i got your G.P.P. conditioning right here....

[Exodus]

well im tired of doing sprints and pushing the vehicles. so i have been thinking and what i can do extra and i came up with this.

i will use my strongman implements for gpp.

the implements will be light, i will practice using perfect form, so that i stay current with event training, and just pick a set time and go for it, preferably 5 minutes.

9-18-03

200lb tire flip. for 5 minutes straight. i dont go for speed or try to make a certian distance. i just went smoothly. the point was to stay constantly moving for 5 minutes. flipped tire around 35 times.

spread eagle situps - 1 set of 25.

floor log bench press - 105 log for 15 reps. was being explosive and letting it kinda drop fast onto my belly (dont worry i've got plenty of cushion).

it was not too taxing. the tire was real hard, and i was surprised how heavy i was breathing from just the 200lb tire.

but i like it, i was a little sore afterward, but when i woke up today, i feel great, its wonderful for recovery reasons as well.

my plan on sundays is to stay with pushing a vehicle for 1-3 trips of about 100 feet sprints.

and tuesdays - put on my 50lb weight vest and carry my 55lb farmers for 5 minutes straight.

i'll keep it at this intensity for 4 weeks and then change.

what do you guys think???

looks good to me, I think it will help with over all conditioning and cardio shape

I think you are on the right track. I use all kinds of weird stuff for gpp...keeps me interested. I would definately make sure that you are able to recover easily enough. Maybe do it after me upper day as opposed to tuesday when you have me upper the next day? Or do I have your schedule wrong?

 

[Exodus]

thanks guys.

my schedule is like this.

monday - no gym - farmers walk gpp.

tuesday - de upper body

wednesday - de lower body

thursday - no gym - tire flip gpp.

friday - me upper body

saturday - me lower body + events.

sunday - no gym. vehicle push gpp.

i didnt really feel the tire flip in my pressing muscles at all. be cause the tire is so light once you get it up past the 45 degree angle mark, it goes over easy, it was the bending down and getting into proper position that killed my posterier chain and quads.

I would take one whole day off, or just do some light abs IMO.

maybe the sunday truck pushes......... i may just rest that day.

your right, i just made up my mind, i will only do gpp's on monday - farmers, and thursday tire.

rest on sunday, if i want to push the truck, i'll do it on saturday with my normal events.
