Hello,
I just want to know if it is possible to apply triple progression system described by mark reifkind to the TGU.
thanks
 
Hardly IMO, because TGUs don't follow the usual rules for sets and reps.
As Pavel describes it in S&S just one TGU equals about 8 reps for another exercise like the bench press.
Because of that doing e.g. sets of 5 in the TGU would be the same as doing sets of 40 in the bench press. That has nothing to do with strength training anymore.
Because of that a triple progression doesn't really work, but a double progression of adding reps and then weight is a viable option.

I can vouch for the How to Get Better at Everything by Training Multiple Get-Ups program, that was tough. If you follow that program, err on the light side. 3 reps with half the weight of your normal bell doesn't sound like much, but 3 consecutive reps is something else. Plus, doing sets of multiple TGUs, even at lower weight can require a higher amount of recovery very quickly.
