Mark the wrastlarr.
Yes, if you read any of his books, Jim recommends doing GPP at all times
when you’re not preparing for a meet. He says that it helps with
conditioning (in terms of higher reps he sometimes uses) and to help with
recovery. On leg days, he goes hard on GPP and on upper body days he goes a
bit easier. Jim also recommends not destroying yourself and letting your
body adapt before going out and doing hill sprints.
“GPP and staying in SHAKE can be crucial….” What kind of shake are you
talking about, Mark? The Harlem or the Booty shake? 🙂
My legs dont get very sore from running hills.
I like doing strongman style stuff for conditioning like farmers walks.
Also serves to build the upper back and helps my deadlifts.
Benedikt Magnusson sprints and he is one of the best powerlifters in the
world!!
mark are u going thru ur mid life crisis…..
after he quit being a competitive lifter to get his weight down
Jim starts hillsprinting after his “fat times” in Powerlifting, as i know.
Cuz his goals for “today” are more likely to be flexible in sports, not
only to be strong. So he wants to be more well rounded in anything.
Not when he was competing. He does a lot now tho
Was that a 50 Cent line at the beginning? lol.
Hit the heavy bag.
lol love your rhymes
I know what I am gong to say the next time my wife asks me to take out the
trash, “Sorry honey, doing deadlifts later, need to save my strength” Thats
gonna go over fantastically.
I believe Benedikt Magnusson incorporated box jumps and sprinting into his
routine. But in regards to what Mark was saying I don’t know if he went
100% in those exercises.
Not when he was lifting, did after he stopped competitive geared lifting.
I’m a short stubby 5’10, 240lbs. Haven’t ran since Uncle Sam made me back
in ’06. Just made the switch to power lifting about 5 months ago and love
it. Anyway I’m on an inter mural college league softball team for fun. They
say they’ve never seen a guy my side run so fast… Must be from the squats
and deads cause my hammies always feel activated.
I like to super-set two assistance exercises after my big lifts. End on a
high…
Doing 6-10 100m sprints just walking back each time really shouldnt fuck
you up that much if you can run decently fast.
