Fitness Challenge (G.P.P.)

  • I am a huge believer in developing (and maintaining) a base level of fitness. This applies to athletes and everyday people. The issue is that it's hard to define what "fitness" is AND each person will have a different standard. For example, I won't have the same fitness standard as a college football player.
    This video is an example of one of my current fitness challenges. I have to complete 150 squats/100 push-ups and 50 chins/pull-ups in 15 minutes or less. I perform 10 rounds of 15/10/5. I finished this challenge in 13:41. Which means, at the very least, I have the G.P.P. for my training. However, I was tired after this and I need to improve.
    Keep in mind - this is my fitness challenge, not yours. This is just an inspiration and/or a guideline for you. THIS IS NOT FOR EVERYONE - THAT'S WHY I WROTE THAT IN ALL CAPS.

    We have something similar that we do at our fire station. Every three weeks on a Sunday we climb 25 floors with all our gear and equipment that we would use on a high rise fire. It ends up being a little over 100 lbs of added weight. 10 minutes seems to be the average for guys who don’t usually climb with us or anyone who isn’t feeling 100%. Sub 8 and closer to 7 minutes is a really good sign of fitness level. The climb keeps us honest.

    Awesome check. I love 5/3/1. It has been the most sustainable and recoverable framework I've been exposed to and thanks for putting the books together. Using all bodyweight progressions as the assistance work, it has made a lot of sense as I got older in the military as well and after getting out.

      This is applicable for every person - for example, this is ONE of our fitness standards for skill players. However, they should finish in 10 minutes/less. So while it may be "bodyweight" - it can be used for a lot of athletes, even those involved in power sports.
      As always, scale to the audience.

    15 rounds in under 15 minutes is a great pace. Anyone who scoffs at this needs to give it a try before they talk shit. Notice, he's not doing kipping pull ups either. Not that there's anything wrong with that but non kipping is way harder and slower.

      I just ride the bike and do beginner yoga from Sean Vigue or do Foundation Training (the new 10 minute F.T.). Nothing I'd ever want to put on social media for fear of boring the world to death. I'd then be responsible for the death of the human race and that's not something I can live with. At least not as this time in my life. To recap: ride bike for 5-10 minutes. Do Beginner Yoga or F.T. - then get moving.

    Hi Jim,
    What is your opinion on high rep burpees (1 pumps, 2 pumps, navy seals etc..) for conditioning and athleticism ?

    • @JimWendler
      @JimWendler  5 місяців тому +1

      My opinion is that it's fine for some people - but a horrible idea for many others. As with most training, it's dependent on a lot of factors. But as an example - we do not use them at LHS for conditioning. We only do it as a low-rep warm-up. Low rep = 10 reps, done strictly.
      Majority of people lack the necessary readiness and preparedness. But if someone wants to do them, it's not my problem.

    • @JimWendler
      @JimWendler  5 місяців тому +1

      1. Wear knee sleeves. 2. Cut back on volume on squats and do something else (Prowler, for example). 3. Change way you do squats - much, much slower tempo on way up/down). 4. Change your training so that you don't do squats so frequently. 5. Have someone qualified AND willing to work with you (extremely rare) to help you find the issue and rehab/work through it. 6. Elevate heel.

      Recently listened to a podcast with you and John Welbourn discussing the subject. I was wondering if you had input on how to set up something similar in a garage environment OR if it is even a good idea for a lifter in his 40s moderately beat up . The wife and I currently use the basic beginner template from your 531 forever book trying to rebound from some injuries.
      A side note you might consider using these videos to discuss various templates from your books….I think people would eat it up.

      OK - you are talking about the NEBRASKA model. Yes, I did it in my garage weight room quite easily. You just have to see what equipment you have access to and set everything up. For example, we did DB squats instead of leg extensions. We played around a lot with volume to adjust for readiness, preparedness and humidity/heat. We also accounted for bar speed and daily readiness. So be ready to adjust. @@dhart5752
