First Post
Hi all, this is my first post and I hope I put it in the right place.
First off, I am a soldier and am required to pass a fitness test of high rep push ups and sit ups. I am using Grease the groove to up my number of reps for this event. I had read that GtG only works for 2-3 weeks until maximum reps is reached then strength training must be resumed.
So my question is where in the mesocycle is it best to place GtG for these excercises? Two weeks out before the test in question? Part of a deload period? Or in an endurance phase? And is it more optimal to grease the groove closer to the test or further away from it?
I am a fit 28 year old male with no injuries and a full range of motion.
Thanks
