Griffin Strength
General Fitness, PowerliftingThe Griffin Strength GPP program was designed around those who want to be strong, look good, and want to do it on their own time at the gym of their choice.
Common Complaint-We like the conditioning, but want to get stronger.
-We like getting stronger, but want to be lean.
-We want to have muscles, but don't want to lose strength or conditioning.
-We don't want to go to a class.
We try to closely resemble a conjugate style training template with rep maxes. Instead of "upper" and "lower" days we break the week into Squat, Horizontal Press, Pull , and Vertical Press. We use varying movements and use corresponding accessory work to make up the conditioning component. This is similar to a Wendler template. I feel both of these systems are outstanding and we do our best to do our hybrid version of them both.
In regard to conditioning in terms of running, yes we do have days were you will run 100, 200, 400m. Generally we use Wednesdays and Saturdays for these as a way to actively recover and keep that component of fitness up and running (see what we did there). We will also use these days for body weight movements or lighter weight movements fo help keep us fresh.
Get Strong, Look Good, Feel Good.
