Switched to GZCLP for the past two months because of this video and it has been amazing!

I've been running GZCLP for 3 months so far and really enjoyed the structure and mix of strength and hypotrophy. I think I have at least 3-4 months to go. Squat and DL still progressing in LP. I've cycled OHP a few times due to plateaus and making progress again. BP also about to need a new cycle. I particularly like there are effectively 8 independent cycles happening. 4 for Tier 1 and 4 for Tier 2 rep schemes.

Started this a week ago, since I am not really progressing at all since making big (previous workout experience) gains on Stronglifts last year. 531 felt good but I didnt progress. My own high intensity, high volume approach improved my maxes a little bit but wasn't sustainable for more than 2 months since it had no periodization. nsuns 4 weeks was interesting but the sheiko reps didnt really make a lot of sense to me since it doesnt seem to be enough volume OR intensity for how bad it beats up my joints. Now it's not really any of these programs' fault that I am stalling a lot or progressing very slowly for 9 months now, that's probably due to my macro wise alright but very junk food heavy and not very surplus-y nutrition (ive maintained weight for the last 4 months) and my very inadequate recovery (I average about 6 hours of sleep). I hope GZCLP's periodization will allow me to at least make some slow and steady strength and size gains with my stubbornly suboptimal diet and sleep schedule. My 5RMs starting out are 160kg DL, 120kg Squat, 100 kg bench and 60 kg OHP @ 85 kg bodyweight. I'll update this post with where I am in half a year or so, but don't take this as an indictment on the program if I dont make big gains, I'll probably still be an idiot who doesnt take sleep and surplus seriously enough.

If you’re failing the last progression of the T2 lift, why would you add 20 pounds then reset at 3 sets of 10. If you can’t do 3 sets of 6, then how could you reset with a heavier weight and do 3 sets of 10?
@gjmjblevins
@gjmjblevins 11 ай бұрын
You add 20 lbs from what you started the progression with. For example, if you started with 100 for 10s and then failed with 170 later on with 6s after moving through the progressions then you would start then next progression with 120 (100 + 20) for 10s (not 190 :) ). Hope that helps. Blessings

Or do I just don't do the T1 exercises I failed 10x1 and still do the others? Also isn't there almost a whole week rest for T1 anyways since we are doing this 4x per week?

the only problem is that most of us have a life outside of the gym.. i'm supposed to do a 10x1 with 3-5 min rest between sets, then 3x6 with 2-3 min rests, then 3x15 with 1-1.5min rest?? You realize that equals 40-60 min REST per workout? not including the actual lifts?? or loading plates, moving around the gym, etc? and that's if you only do one t3 exercise (should be at least like 2-4 different t3s per sesh) like there is no reasonable way you could do that workout in under an hour. so when you say "BEST" maybe you mean most impactful? because to be the best you have to factor in efficiency and opportunity cost

There are lots of variations in the GZCLP program, for example, T1 progression can be 3x5+ -> 4×3+ -> 5×2+ (doing 5 doubles instead of 10 singles). I don't think it's a good idea to do 10 singles in a commercial gym squat rack.

Yea that's a no-no for me as well since I wanna up my calisthenics game which requires great pulling strength. I made my own 4 day version upper/lower style with as main movements Squat, Weighted pull up, Deadlift, OHP and one pure calisthenics day (upper body) in the weekend. Those 4 main movements I follow the GZCLP style progression of 5x3->6x2->10x1 (4x3 so less sets for deads and squats tho since it's plenty of volume for me already on those). And for all other exercises I just keep it simple and do double progression, hit a certain weight for a certain amounts of reps and increase weight whenever I hit the high end of the rep range (usually 1-2 reps in reserve for compounds and small isolations to failure or 1 rep reserve sometimes) I can go into more detail about what every day looks like but you get the main idea

@gjmjblevins 11 ай бұрын
T1 should be 85% of your 5RM to start - T2 should be something you can hit and still have 4-3 reps in the tank (probably 55-60%). Blessings

What about T2? Is it possible to use variations of T1 exercises instead of just more reps of the same T1's? For example instead of doing a back squat for 3x10 i would do a front squat or a high bar feet elevated squat instead. What are your thouhgts?

Something is not adding on T2 progression…so once you stall out on a 3x6…you are suppoce to increase the weight and then go back to 3x10??? I mean if you stall out at 3x6 hownare you suppoce to progress with a heavier weight for more volumen?

Bit late here but you don't increase the weight on the 3x6. You got back to the weight you started on with the 3x10, you then increase that weight by 20lbs and start the process again.

The base is 4x per week but the whole point is to cycle through the workouts A1 - B1 - A2 - B2. If you do 3x per week then tou will only get 3 of those in a week but you can still follow the pattern. The 4x per week is explained at 4:17. Blessings

You can - in fact that is a known variation and is a perfectly ok idea (I would probably do that as the 10x1 seems a little odd to me :) ). For more info search on reddit for the GZCL program and the discussions about higher rep versions. Blessings

It's a neat program (I'm going by exclusively what was described in this video). Of course, it's geared to be simple and immediately applicable and thus it lacks certain nuances, besides those already mentioned in the presentation. For example, volume is just average, there's really no built-in algorithm to adapt it to the lifter. The lack of deload for T2 and T3 lifts is a bit arbitrary. It's entirely possible to hit a wall in a rep range, or systemically, and sometimes the answer is just that you're too overreached and need a break. The rest times are average-ish to keep the recreational lifter honest. I like it but for the T3 ones which make little sense, seem based on outdated knowledge and they're also at odds with the suggested progression. If you're nearing the upper end of the plus set range at 25 reps, it means the first 2 sets at 15 were exceedingly easy. If you're able to crank out 25 extra reps after short rests as well, it means you're basically doing cardio at that point. One would be better served doing directly rest-pause, or myo-reps, drop-sets etc. if they're really chasing a pump and still want an objective way to track progress while making sure strength is the limiting factor. Or, even simpler, just rest a sufficient amount of time and do straight sets close to failure with the plus set at the end.

You should use something to start that lets you have 3-4 reps in the tank at least - this is tough to nail down with higher rep ranges but I would advise something around 55-60% of your 1RM, it will ramp up fast so it is better to start too low than to heavy. Blessings

@jayday325 Generally speaking, I would suggest that you completely disregard the competition lift except for, using Hatfield's terminology, compensatory acceleration training (speed) which serves to increase starting strength by developing the instantaneous, simultaneous recruitment of the maximum amount of muscle fiber. By increasing starting strength you have more momentum to get through the 1RM determining stuck point. Considering the fact that it is the determining factor, attention must be given to exercises that get you stronger at that point. As I learned in Mel Siffs book 'Supertraining' you can become stronger at a specific joint angle. Then, too, one must strive to bring up weaknesses (using Lois Simmon's terminology) via sub-optimal position exercises--my terminology. To do so I would use one or both rep schemes that I created. Both employ a strategy of doing an exercise with a degree of muscular fatigue then, over subsequent workouts, reducing the amount of fatigue under which the exercise is done to realize a strength gain from having done it with the greater amount. Both have proven to be highly effective. If you are serious and wanted to learn those I would send some instruction but I don't want to undertake the work that that would require if they aren't going to be used. Lastly, at some point, you should disregard the sub-optimal position exercises to specialize on the competition lift using the one of my two rep scheme the one exercise approach.

Confused how if say I've worked up to a 3x6 to failure on deadlift, my next week I add 20lbs to that and do 3x10? If I can't do 3x6 the week before how am I adding that much weight and then doing sets of 10? I rewound a few times to see if I'd missed something in the Tier 2 explanation. Otherwise great video

Man this is way too over complicated. I regularly watch channels like Jeff Nippard, Renaissance Periodization, and House of Hypertrophy and yet this is probably the most hard to follow workout plan I’ve seen in 2 decades of lifting. A bit of the confusion is that you’re confusing when explaining what A1, B1, etc is, as well as the rep ranges (like T1 is 3 reps but also AMRAP?)
@geevee00
@geevee00 12 күн бұрын
A1, B1, A2, B2 is really just: Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4. But if you look at A1 and A2, it is the same exercises but switched around. Calling it T1 and T2 can be confusing but its really just how that specific exercise is structured. Example If you do squats for Day 1(A1) you will structure them in T1 style, in this case T1 is 5x3 , this means you will do 5 sets of 3reps each. The amrap means that on your last set, which is set #5 you will do the amrap, then when you go on to your next exercise which in the example of this video is bench press l, this one will be structured T2 style which is 3x10. Then youll have Day2 workout which is B2, but then youll get to A2 which is Day3. If you now see how its structured, you will be starting with bench press using T1 style which again os 5x3, and squats are now the second exercise, and are now structured T2 style which are 3x10. So basically its like your working out all compound exercises twice per week, however youll be switching back and forth with 5x3 to 3x10. For each compound. This is so you can keep progressing and not build so much systemic fatigue too quickly. I would say this program is mostly for strength rather than hypertrophy. Hope this helps
@geevee00
@geevee00 12 күн бұрын
Example Day 1(A1) Squats 85% of 5rm: 5x3 amrap on last set with rpe of 8. Followed by: Bench 3x10 with amrap on last set. On these tier2 exercises you can start with lighter weight since youll have to do more reps per set. Then whatever accessories in T3 3x15 with amrap on last set . If you can do 25 or more reps on the amrap set then increase the weight Day2(B1) OHP for 5x3 and amrap at 85% of 5rm with 8rpe of 8 Followed by: Deadlift 3x10 and amrap on last set with rpe of 8 Followed by: Tier 3 (accessories) at 3x15 A2(Day 3) Bench 85% of 5rm 5x3 with amrap on last set with rpe of 8 Followed by: Squats 3x10 with amrap on last set with rpe of 8 Followed by: T3 (accessories) at 3x15 B2 (Day 4) Deadlifts 85% of 5rm for 5x3 with amrap on last set with rpe or 8 Followed by: OHP at 3x10 with amrap on last set with rpe of 8 Followed by: Tier3 (accessories) 3x15
