Gpp on beginner template

Training Q&A [Moderated]
1

Hey guys
I’m currently running the beginner template (week 1).
I have 1 years of experience on strength training so I don’t think I’m literally “beginner” but I really like the program and very excited to running it.
I have time and week 1 of phase 1 is kind of boring(session rpe 5 maybe) so I’m doing gpp 3x per week (at the end of all three session.)

I’m doing

LISS 1x week
HITT 1x week
skull crusher 3x10 (done in 4 minutes) 3x per week
barbell curl 3×10 (done in 4 minutes) 3x per week
lat pull down 3×10 (done in 4 minutes) 3x per week
v ups 3x10 (done in 4 minutes) 3x per week

I think I’m doing fine for now but do you think It’s will be better to just doing the gpp as it is programmed?

Hahn,

I’m not sure that we’d recommend doing the Beginner Template if you’re not in the target demographic, but without knowing anything about you- it’s hard to say.

Additionally, Phase I has you work up to some relatively high intensity weights, yet RPE 5 per session is reasonable. I wouldn’t try to add to this.

While I don’t think I have a big problem with any of the extra work you’re doing, I don’t think it’s very useful in this context either.
