Greyskull LP: A Guide to the Gymscore Template
Greyskull LP combines repeated barbell practice with a final set that records more than the minimum rep target. The Gymscore version alternates two full-body workouts and includes pulling and arm assistance alongside its main lifts.
Who this template suits
A newer lifter who likes a simple schedule but wants rep performance to remain visible when the load stays the same.
When to choose another option
You prefer fixed reps on every set, or you are not yet comfortable judging when a final set should end.
Template length
12 weeks
Three weekly sessions alternate A-B-A and B-A-B across the saved 12-week plan. The main exercises and assistance differ between workouts.

How to track and progress
The main sets marked 5/5/5+ mean that the last set has an open-ended rep target. Record each set separately so you can distinguish completing the minimum from improving the final-set result.
The stored rules use lift-specific load increases and reductions after missing the required final-set target. A reduction creates a new comparison point: retain the previous result in the log instead of treating the lighter session as lost progress.
Common mistakes
Recording only the best set
The earlier sets contribute to the session’s workload. Keep their reps and loads alongside the final-set total.
Confusing a rep record with a load record
More reps at one weight and the same reps at a heavier weight are different achievements. Label both clearly.
Ignoring a reset rule
Repeatedly attempting the same unsuccessful load makes the record harder to interpret. Review the planned reset instead of improvising a larger jump.
Questions answered
What does the plus sign mean?
It marks an additional-rep target on the final set. The log should contain the actual completed reps, rather than just the minimum.
Does every lift increase by the same amount?
No. The saved rules distinguish upper-body lifts, squats and deadlifts. Check the exercise-specific instruction before changing a load.
What should I compare after a reset?
Compare the same exercise at the same load and setup, including the final-set reps. A lower load can still produce a useful rep record.
