John Peterson's G.U.T.S. Amplified Program

[John Peterson]

Hey Friends,

I received an e-mail asking me if I do G.U.T.S. each day. The answer is indeed I do. Then I was asked, "What else do you do Mr. Peterson, besides G.U.T.S? Well, Guys pay attention. Below is my G.U.T.S sequence for today. Naturally it took me over an hour (72 minutes), But it was one Great workout.

Start: 7 reps of each of the 16 Joint Mobility exercises as found in PYTP

Then: 25 Pull-Ups, 50 Full Range Atlas Sit-Ups, 50 Atlas Leg Raises, 50 Atlas III Push-Ups, 70 Tiger Bend Squats, 20 Milo (10 reps each side, light to moderate tension w/Deep Breathing) X 5 complete Circuits.

At 6P.M.---3 mile run

8 P.M. 9-Isometric contractions with Iso-Power belt.

Naturally I switch up the exercises from time to time and sometimes I only have time for G.U.T.S. Workout and nothing else exactly as written. BUT THE G.U.T.S. workouts are my foundation everything else is icing on the cake.

Well John,

If this was a light day, I'd hate to see what the intense days are like.:sick:

BUT, as an addendum to this, I also have to say that even though progressively over time, my workouts have been harder and more intense with the methods you teach, and we joke sometimes about working out until you get sick, I have never gotten sick or queasy from using my own body. For some reason the body adapts and recovers much quicker with these methods.

Hey John,
I just received my GUTS book. Uhhhh, I'm a LItTlE humbled!!!!!! I am not acclimated to high volume pushups, least of all Atlas IIIs, but still! LOL! 50 in one minute???!!!!!
I hope my progression is fairly rapid as I am in pretty good shape, but the GUTS program as you laid it out is challenging to say the least! LOL!
I have a LONG way to go!!!!!
absolutely humbled,
Jim
