i did this push up and squat. go to open park , do a set, walk enjoying the scenery, then do another set. at least 5 mins rest in between. works pretty well

This channel is awesome. You always give a concise and interesting perspective on training. I really like it, because it helps mitigate the mundane and frustrating aspect of training for me. I’ve never been great at sticking to hard and fast routine styles of working out, but hitting middle age has made me realize how important it is to make physical fitness an integral part of life. I appreciate your advice. Thank you.

I increased my pull up game by adding 1 rep each week.If I do 10 reps this week, the following week will be 11!... " Dont do anymore than where you up to because you will have days we feel more powerful or weak and can be due to how you slept or eat and end up discouraging you seeing you're strength not being consistent. The point is to get use the amount your doing for a whole week so your body can get used to it and would be able to stick with that rep range no matter how you feel. sometimes " less is more ". O yea .. dont burn yourself out in one workout. All depending on your goals but if you just want to increase rep range .. then do a few sets like 3 and youre good to go then wait for the next day. Do not include any other pulling exercise ( again depending on the goal)

Hi Louka I have a few questions 1) If you choose 2 exercises to 'grease the groove', would you do both exercises every day? or would you switch between the exercises so that they are done every other day? 2) Is it "okay" to run 'grease the grove' on a daily basis, combined with kettlebell complexes 3 days a week? Thanks in advance! Regards Jacob

Excellent video, The best I have seen on GTG, Thank you very much, I have some doubts, How long do you think GTG can be applied before switching to the normal approach, and is there any advantage in alternating the normal with GTG from time to time?, What? What about difficult exercises like the one-hand push-up with the warm-up issue? If you want to do it spread throughout the day? That is, if I'm on the PC and then I want to do the one-hand push-up without warming up, will it be a good idea?.
@marabunta198023 күн бұрын
I think he answered the how long part in the video when he mentioned to use gtg for 12 weeks to see results. Regarding the warm-up, my opinion is the gtg intrinsically acts as a tonic workout and keeps your CNS primed for the task you're practicing. So as long as you start practicing the OAP at a regressed level, say on a incline box you wouldn't need that much of warm-up
@Sharrrrkkkk23 күн бұрын
@@marabunta1980 Thank you very much for responding. Regarding the duration, I did see in the video that it was recommended for a minimum of 3 months or more. I was referring more to whether it could serve as a longer training session or if it was better to vary it every x month with normal training. I guess it's best. It is experimenting and maybe it is worth varying the stimuli as indicated in the video. I didn't know about the warm-up. Thank you very much for the answer. In my case I was going to do the OAP at a normal level, because I can do 8 on the right side. and 5 on the left.
@HardstyleKettlebellPro18 күн бұрын
You can stay on GTG for quite a while before switching to another routine. At least 12 weeks. For the OAPU it really depends how hard this exercise is for you. The warm-up is highly individual.

@@oldnatty61I don't think he trains much for hypertrophy, nor he's saying that this method of training is optimal for increasing muscle mass, quite the opposite in fact, GTG is good for gaining strength via neuromuscular coordination. The point of this method is never getting close to failure, and getting close to failure is the basis for hypertrophy.
