    Bodyweight Combining GTG with super slow pushup

    Does such a combination make sense? With my 260 lbs my max is 10 normal pushups, so I normally grease the groove with 4 normal pushups. However when I go really slow, say 20 seconds down and 20 seconds up, then 1 rep is my max (sometimes only the negative!). Does it make sense to do the super...

    Bodyweight Fail to reach 10 reps mark in gtg

    I've been doing pistol squat weightened, pull up weightened and one arm push up 6x a week using the gtg method. Every time I hit 10 reps (after doing half of the max every day, 4 to 5 series of 1 to 5 reps) I increase the weight, as Pavel teach in the gtg. I can make easy 5x5, with 2 min rest...

    Barbell Heavy deadlift singles for maintaining strength and muscle mass

    Being 'in between programs' and having made less time to train recently, I've been seizing opportunities to do GTG sets of pull-ups and heavy deadlift singles (typically about 5 or 6) when I get the chance (usually every three days or so) and I'm wondering if performing occasional heavy...
  7. Kettlebell S&S with GTG

    I want to train to a full depth pistol squat, but am also finding S&S to be extremely effective. Can I do S&S four or five times per week while GTG on pistol squat? Or are they better left separate?

    Other/Mixed Getting strong on Deadhang

    Hello, I recently listened to a podcast from Pavel Tsatsouline and he said that most people should focus on getting really strong on their grip and core as that will increase performance on everything else. I already do a basic strength program. I want to get strong at bodyweight deadhangs and...

    Kettlebell GTG Swings?

    I´m doing S&S, and lately I have been doing the swings in a GTG manner throughout the morning a few times a week. I then save 10 minutes in the evening to do the TGUs. The other days I just do regular S&S. This is how I do it: Before the first set, I do a few goblet squats, halos and bridges...

    Other/Mixed Whether a 50% reps is a 50% of effort ? "GTG"

    Whether a 50% of the maximum number of repeating is a 50% of maximum effort ? It is about "GTG" method I'm confused about something. For example: I tested my max in One arm push ups (legs together) I got 4 reps in good form so I decided to do everyday a few sets of 2 reps (50% of max reps)...
