Do anyone used this system? The effortless system to get strength and build mass.
In short: Never train til failure. Work only 30 - 50% to your max. But train more often! For example: If you can do 20 total pushups and no more you should only do sets of 6-10 reps.
Who tried this system?

I've got one of Bryda's eBooks on my Kindle and at least the one I purchased is similar to what Tiberius describes. Lots of sets, reps at sub-max levels. I never really tried it -- first, it didn't appeal to me and second, with work and all it wasn't really convenient.
But, more & more like we're discussing on some of the threads and from research that has come out, only hitting 50% of your max with good form, etc., is just as productive as 80% of your max. So, his system has merit to it.
The one disappointing thing was the hype...you're not going to turn into a mass monster using his workouts or ripped or whatever. Fitter? Yep. Stronger? Yep. Wish people would be more honest in their claims vs. the BS...

It sounds interesting. Unfortunately, there are not any descriptions of his system on internet. It looks like a high volume training with moderate loading. In this case, daily workout is OK.

On this thread there is a guy named Landowski. He does a routine similar to Bryda's routine (well, my understanding of Bryda's routine). He said he had success doing 100 reps of a few exercises, with little rest between sets, on a daily basis. He said he did take his sets closer to failure (within a couple reps), so that is different than Bryda, www.tapatalk.com/groups/newpushups/all-you-really-need-t1154.html

Never heard of the Rich Bryda System but I have done the grease the groove approach. I learned of it because of Pavel. I may have not done as many sets as may been recommended. It worked really good with harder variations of bodyweight exercise. It helped me be able to do harder variations also. I would do 2 sets before work, 2 sets after work, and 2 sets before bed. The sets were spread out and I would do no more than two exercises in this style. From what I noticed, I only got stronger at the moves I preformed without any soreness at all. I really didn't feel any fitter, definetlly no size, and I did not get ripped. I didn't hear any of that hype when I learned it from Pavel. He just mention strength which I agree. Blue Speedo hype it in his book.

This is the opinion of one more guy (zahuruds) from forum.bodybuilding.com/showthread.php?t=162247281&pagenumber=1"Its great, Not because I know it, because I have experienced, it, I have tried rich bryda's method, it works like magic. Trust me he knows what he is teaching, I started off with two burpees a set with 30 seconds rest. I was able to do 24 sets initially, I didnt mind increasing the reps, I kept increasing the set, I do 40 sets at a time morning and evening, ofcourse i sweat but i make sure the muscles are fresh like he advises.. Take off a day if i have doms.. and I work in 8 to 5 office atmosphere.. I hit pushups in conference rooms then and there (same rep and set as in burpees). so i hit around 100 pushups in a day with 80 burpees in morning and 80 or sometime 50 burpees in the evening. which is insane I know, but it paid off, Actually rich bryda is so right, its not about the number of reps I do in a day, its the volume.. My life style is now like an ancient tribal whose day starts, moves and ends with physical activities.. My arms have gone bigger (I dont do curls so I dont get a peak in biceps but I have a long lengthy look when i flex my bicep.) my chest is huge, My body has become huge over all.. Rich bryda system works, give it a try, He says go for 20% of your pushup capacity, But i just love my current rep range and dont feel a need to increase it, just increase the set.. Its very very very important to split the workout all day, thats where magic is hidden.. increase the volume without increasing the reps. Even if you do not have the genetics for a bulky body, this routine will make you stronger than you can imagine. Give a try first, you will know for yourself. Regards, Krodhguru."

Yep I've tried it on and off a few times, it definitively works as he says,but unless you have a lot of spare time on your hands fitting in the number of reps, while keeping each set low ,becomes a real chore if done over a few exercises. Possibly only doing one of his big three exercises each day might be as effective but less of a chore.

Also, one has to ask what are your goals? What results are you seeking?
We know that this GTG stuff as currently practiced is the result of the Soviet/East German/Bulgarian fraud where their athletes were allegedly lifting throughout the day hence the reason the O-lifters from these countries were blowing everyone else away. "Bull Roar"
Never mind the fact the athletes from these countries were jacked up on the juice and whatever else and then the burnout and injury rate came to light...most if not all of these lifters, etc., didn't have a very long career because of the drugs and injuries.
And I have to ask: has anyone seen Rich Bryda? Just curious as I haven't seen much except for the eBooks on Amazon.

And I have to ask: has anyone seen Rich Bryda? Just curious as I haven't seen much except for the eBooks on Amazon. What exactly is the Rich Bryda system? Is it grease the groove? I did the GTG with one upper body and one lower body movement. What I did was half the reps I could do. Then I would do a set or two in the morning spread out before work. Then when I came home, the same, and before bed the same. Didn't even feel like I did anything. But I got stronger in the movement and was able to do harder variations pretty quickly. I know some aren't into doing harder variations of stuff but GTG does work for that, at least for me it did. It's not going to make you bigger or ripped. Pavel recommended one movement or two if you do upper and lower body. It's kind of like practicing something without cause any fatigue. It really wasn't drudgery at all for me.

Thanks

Hey vegetus, for me when I've tried it ,an increase in arm/chest size coupled with a decrease in my gut. Didn't notice much difference in the legs. A vey noticeable change in physique when looking in the mirror, plus others mentioning it.fwiw a general feeling of having more energy. On a downside I did experience some joint aches in the shoulders. This was about a month and a halfs results and done after an 8 week experiment on Project Kratos which quite frankly left me very out of shape (though the ideas still intrigue me) This was using pushups ,squats x 100 reps sets of 5/10 and pullups 50 reps in sets of 2 or 3 Sometimes spread throughout the day sometimes in a single workout. Often the squats would be done in only one or two sets as pausing between lots of sets on them aggravated my hamstrings. Bryda advises burpees not squats but my knees don't like them. From my experience it works but can beccome a drudgery but if you have a holiday coming up(which was my inspiration) then it can get you into shape fast.
