I want GST to incorporate as many strength improving methods as possible without becoming a complicated pile of random tips and tricks. My goal with GST was finding the proper balance of strength and size building principles, and I feel that I’ve accomplished that.
The following paragraphs will describe a concept that I call Explosive Core Lift Priming. This concept requires you to perform a movement that will mimic the action of your chosen core lift. I personally like to perform Bodyweight Jump Squats on my squat day, Empty Barbell Presses on my press day, Bodyweight Jump Deadlifts on my lift day, and Medicine Ball Slams on my pull day.
It is important that your explosive primer movements stay as light as possible. Many times this will require you to use pure bodyweight, nothing added. These mimicking movements will improve the power and speed of your core movements. Nobody wants to train to be slower, so you better execute explosive versions of your core lifts at some time or another! These lifts will benefit you in multiple ways.
They are quick, simple, and fun to perform.
