I am 47, 187 pounds, 6’ tall, fairly athletic build. No real gut to speak of but not nearly as strong as I could be.
Fairly new to lifting and have been doing a full body beginner routine for about 5-6 months. Its been OK but I am ready to move to something else.
I came across the Greyskull LP programs and got ahold of the book and read through it. Seems like something that I would like to try. after Googling a bit though, its hard to find current info on it. All forum posts are 3-6 years old for the most part.
So is it still a viable program to use to gain size and strength? The AMRAP?
This is what I am thinking of running. Its straight from the book other than I added the Yates Rows myself.
Any advise on what is listed here? Is this a good program to gain with or should I be looking elsewhere?
A disclaimer…I cannot go to a gym. I have to workout at home. I have a rack, a set of dumbells from 5- 45 pds, EZ bar, and free weights.
This limits the programs that I can do since I dont have all the equipment to do a lot of the exercises in them so this is another reason this looks good. I can do it from home. I’d have to buy some microplates that would be needed for this.
Also, not sure that I can do the fasted walking in the morning and make it fit around work. I do take my dog for a walk every evening for about 2 miles or so. Would that suffice?
