Thougts/tips on Greyskull LP? Thinking about starting it.
Also, I can't do 3x5 sets of chinups, I've read someone suggesting v-handle lat pulldowns as an alternative for it, is that a good idea?

it's like a less efficient SS, but it will work. enjoy yourself

its nobrainer type of training imo, its main goal is more of making the habit of training and general fitness than get some specific result like bigger total in powerlifts or oly lifts...
If you want to do this basic vanilla template, go rather for starting strength or stronglifts.
GLP works great with challenge conditiong, also frequency method for chinups and pushups put a lot more upper body volume in training than SS and SL have.

Sorry for the ignorance, but what's challenge conditioning/linebacker template?

Shaffer wrote some basic drills in, calling them challenges - like burpee layer challenge: absolute goal is doing 100 burpees in 5 minutes, but thats insane for begginer, so you start with 5 minute frame and do what you can to keep the pace (ofc starting with smaller steps like 3x10, 3x15, 4x10x, 4x15 ets.). Similar pushup challenge has goal of total 100 pushups in 2 minutes.

Can anyone comment on lat pulldowns and substitute for chinups while i still don't have the strength to do them?

It's better than assisted pull-ups, but you should try to get into negatives asap.

I'll try negatives, but I want to do some pulldowns first. How many reps should I do, 2x10?

Nevermind this, I'm blind.
