re: The Greyskull Methods- A Primer

Again, hope I don't break any rules by referencing this other message board, but on the Greyskull message board you can ask JP questions directly as well.
Even though that message board is new and doesn't have a lot of active members posting right this moment there are still several people over there who have been working within the Greyskull world for a long time and can answer your questions. Also, LSU777 is on THIS message board, (who is one of those Greyskull long timers) can guide you better than that app ever will. I've also seen him post a few times over there as well. Just making you aware.
I'm sure that the person that made that app did so with the best intentions, but it sounds like the developer may have abandoned it as a working project and that's why it doesn't function well. JP has mentioned the strong possibility of developing an app in the future, he has a lot of plans for 2024 it sounds like, lots of content on the horizon coming from him.
This is my personal way of "paraphrasing" Greyskull methodology, for lack of a better term, you are building a structure of some kind, house, shed, gazebo, ritual sacrifice pyramid, etc. There will be "layers" to the construction. The main barbell lifts are a layer, accessory lifts are another layer, cardio conditioning is a layer, bodyweight exercises are another layer. I think JP says in the book that he considers the bodyweight exercises, often called "Homework" to be the base layer, then the main barbell lifts are layered on top of that, followed by the accessories which I think are referred to as "Add-ons" and then layered on top is the conditioning. Trust me, the book explains it all very clearly. I could continue, but the early pages of this thread already explain it well enough.

Not that he owes anyone anything, but anybody new to the world of Greyskull should be aware that JP is incredibly flakey.
Not quite Martin Beckham, but close.
LSU777 and others have fortunately kept this great program/methodology alive for everyone (and I do believe it is still the best introduction to lifting for the average swinging dick), but counting on JP to deliver on anything with any semblance of consistency is foolish. Temper expectations is all I’m saying.
The books are out there and this thread is the most active and comprehensive resource otherwise.
