Grease the Groove full body?
Just a thought: What’s to stop me using GtG protocol for my whole body?
GtG advice is always “only do this for one movement”. Choose one exercise you want to increase your reps/strength in, do an easy but perfectly executed 50% effort set, roughly every hour, throughout the day, roughly every day, completely separate from your more traditional resistance training regimen for all other body parts.
But rather than just doing, say, 5 pull-ups every hour, why not do 5 pull-ups + 5 hanging leg raises + 5 pike pushups + 5 Cossack squats?
If it works for one thing, and supposedly doesn’t accumulate CNS fatigue, why wouldn’t it work for all things concurrently?
I get that this protocol is about mechanical or neural efficiency, essentially, so it’s certainly not for hypertrophy. That’s fine, I’m 48, I have zero free time to indulge in satisfying immersive workouts (2 small kids), I have zero appetite for force-feeding protein, I have a classic hardgainer body that’s only ever known glacially slow progress despite consistent exercise my entire adult life. New gains on my mediocre (but good for my age) physique might be off the table regardless! So I’m now only chasing longevity, ideally through an idiot-proof habitual practice. One that frequently gets me up out of my working-from-home office chair for a couple minutes at a time.
Anyone out there ever tried to grease up their entire groove?
