Hello, i have a question regarding gpp, i am currently on powerbuilding 2, week four.
i saw jordan reply to a topic saying not to do hiit and liss on the same days, rather have gpp 4x a week.
With this being kept in mind, how should gpp be split up during the week?
currently my weeks are as follows:
lifting 1
lifting 2
gpp 1
lifting 3
lifting 4
gpp 2
off
thanks in advance, and thanks so much for all of the meaningful, and helpful content you guys provide!
That schedule looks good. You can do any additional/missing conditioning after lifting days if you need to.
I have genetic risk of cardiovascular disease. Most males in my family have had a heart attack in their early 40s and bypass surgery a few decades later.
I’m following most of your dietary guidelines but would additional LISS help reduce this risk?
if so, what’s the best way to increase the amount of LISS? I’m currently following the low fatigue template; is it best to increase the amount of time per session (e.g., increase 25:00 LISS to 45:00) or increase the number of LISS sessions (e.g. two 25:00 sessions per week to four sessions)?
Bumby,
You should be meeting/exceeding the physical activity guidelines for conditioning, e.g. 500 to 1000 MET-minutes/wk. I’m not exactly sure how much you’re doing now. In addition, managing other known risk factors such as cholesterol, blood pressure, smoking status, managing body weight and composition, etc. would all be useful.
Either would be fine and generate a similar outcome. I would prefer people be active on most days of the week rather than less days.
