3 Ways to Make GPP Less Boring (You Need to Be Doing These)

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

My favorite ways to implement GPP: non-stop random med ball throws for 15-20 minutes, as well as sled/prowler work. That EliteFTS med ball looks fantastic I need to get one, mine have no bounce at all

[@randymalinowski8384]

The neighborhood I live in, just checking mail is a GPP / self defense combo, lots of sprints, dodging bullets and various other attacks.

“8kg, whatever that is in freedom units!” Hahahahahahaha

[@getpumped87]

I think my favorite GPP workouts come from Jason Brown. Either a strongman EMOM type workout or combining sled drags and carries (Sled drag + suitcase carry, then front rack carry, then waiter carries, then farmers)

[@jayc8442]

Agreed, I’ve been learning a lot from Jason Brown this year. The various Carries has helped GPP and gets in needed core work at the same time

[@AlexSamm]

I've always liked the concept of using a sandbag for gpp

[@radalexander7160]

I'd like to think my question from the last table talk inspired this 😂

[@nialahmad]

Tyre flips are one of my favourite GPP activities.

[@wandregal9553]

Medium weight KB exercises for GPP are great. 👍

I love kettlebells for GPP, started with a 16lb bell at 16 years old, now 6-7 years later, I'm using either two 24kg (53lbs) for front squats or a 32kg (70lbs) bell for swings at high reps. If you're new to kettlebells, start slow and build up slowly, you won't be able to load these as heavy as traditional dumbbells or other exercises but they are worth learning for sure.I also use them for carries. My grip and core have improved and it has helped with injury prevention. I use lighter bells for overhead presses. They help get a lot of work done in a short time like Sam said and they feel easier on the ankles vs traditional running. The kettlebell front squat and kettlebell swing are the two exercises which have helped me maintain stability in the squat and deadlift whilst protecting my knees. Medicine balls have helped me improve my conditioning and develop my core and shoulder stability. However, I haven't tried circuit training for a while, I usually just do the traditional sets and reps or just X amount for once exercise in a given time period. I need to work on optimising my exercise selection to maximise my work capacity. Will need to give this a go. Maybe combining a strength move with a conditioning move could be something I implement. Thanks Sam! Could you guys maybe do a loaded stretch video where we discuss how to improve mobility, flexibility and joint stability through loaded movements? I'm looking for more effective ways to improve my movement patterns to supplement traditional stretching and mobility exercises.

[@helmutkrusemann9194]

all videos are knowledge bombs and valuable af but this is the best in a long time. I would appreciate more gpp videos! thank you very much Sam and EliteFts

[@jayc8442]

Like the med. ball and kb, honestly I always thought those movements were more for HIIT training. Also got a few sandbags collecting dust I need to use.

[@alexandermiller866]

Thoughts on going on a 30 minute bike ride? Gets a good quad pump, epsecially when towing the kid trailer.

[@LeeH3nson]

Sick informational video Sam mate nice one

[@reallyeffingcooltechnodude]

I love the sled...

[@Kevin-wr9um]

Sam was great on Modern Family.

[@paintballbiggie]

Still have time to edit that title.

[@UpstateGardening]

Why are you attacking my power belly?

[@josephmoore977]

Would you recommend the circuit work for rehabilitation?

[@SerratusAnterior]

On rotational work, do you rotate with the hips or the spine?

[@noelfrancisnunez5729]

Yes to both

[@yakked]

My man needs to work on his GPP. He's sucking wind by the end of this video.

[@ryanpatton265]

all I was thinking the whole time LOL

[@papasitoman]

My doing it wrong?

[@leedowner2249]

does walking the dog count as GPP ? I'm serious, I walk quite fast for 45minutes non stop, I'm slightly out of breath and a bit sweaty by the time I get home

[@JoshuaOdionson]

That's how I feel after walking my husky. Lol

[@leedowner2249]

@@JoshuaOdionson I walk like that all the time tbh, I go out with the wife and she complains I literally drag her along. I'm unable to walk slowly

[@StrengthHacksCoaching]

It's better than no activity, but something a hair more intense would further increase work capacity.

[@acidreign6]

Yes walking is perfect GPP work, low intensity on your joints also. Don't need all these expensive tools and items.

[@jayc8442]

Throw on a weight vest, start 10-20lbs build up to 40-50lbs over time. That’s more work in same amount of time

[@carterhazen9431]

You're*

HAHAHA mans said Freedom Units😂😂😂
