GPP in Powerlifting: Specificity Matters Here Too

GPP for powerlifting

Builds muscle & work capacity for powerlifting-specific training.

GPP exercises

Close derivatives of powerlifts (front squats, close-grip bench)

GPP rep range

6-10 reps to grow muscle & work capacity for later strength training.

Less specific GPP exercises

Limited effectiveness for powerlifting (kettlebell swings, sled pushes).

Specificity spectrum

GPP is powerlifting-specific, but not as specific as SPP.

Focus on close derivatives

Maximize effectiveness of GPP for powerlifting performance.
