Greyskull LP- How to add volume intelligently

So some have asked how to add volume to greyskull. I am going to lay out a few simple ways to do this. First I want to say, most should not be doing this especially if they are making progress, but i do acknowledge that certain lifts like the press, respond very well to volume.

1) if you are looking to add volume to drive numbers up I highly encourage you to give Barbell Medicines GSLP Strength Bais template a whirl. It is a mixture of Texas method laid over the gslp template. It would be considered something you should do once you have performed 2 resets on a lift and rotated the original lift back in and are stalling at the same place. LINK

I like this as it is a simple program to follow since it is already laid out for you. This option works great for those that need more volume, but don't understand exactly how to program themselves.


2) Another easy way to add Volume especially just to one lift, is to use wendlers "BIG but Strong" variation. This works extremely well for the press. So after a stall for the press we would add 10 sets of 5 @ 50% of the normal GSLP set weight. We superset these with chins. So it looks something like this:


**Notice the GSLP Press sets are not AMRAP

Could also add it in for bench like this:


You can also change out the rep scheme on the bench to 5 sets of 10 aka boring but big.

Another way to progress on the volume sets is as follows

Boring but strong-
-Day 1- 10 sets of 5
-Day 2- 10 sets of 6 @ same weight
-Day 3- 10 sets of 7 @ same weight
etc until you get to 10 sets of 10. At that point reset to 10*5 and add 10%.


Boring but Big- same as above but we add a set instead of adding reps and we only add the set on a weekly basis.

With both options the antagonist movement is the same rep scheme and we only have 20 min to complete all of the volume sets. This ensures we are working with enough density to push the lifts.
