This is based on a simple, bare-bones implementation of the Greyskull LP program. It is best thought of as a short-run, introductory lifting program. It will help you build familiarity with the fundamental barbell movements that are a core component of most good lifting routines. The version of Phrak’s GSLP on this page is not the original version of Phrak’s GSLP, or GSLP in general – it has been modified from the original to make it simpler to follow and slightly add Deadlift volume. Pulling exercises (row, chinups) were also changed to be performed before pushing exercises (overhead press, bench press) as this can help some people’s shoulders feel better (for everyone else, it doesn’t matter). Remember always that this is meant to be an introductory program, in the same way that you don’t jump straight into riding a bicycle – you have a trike or training wheels first so that the cost of failure while you’re still learning is low.
