Yes — I'm very familiar with the GPP phase (General Physical Preparedness). It's the foundational phase of a training cycle focused on:

==== - Builds a wide physical base before specific strength or skill work ====
* Improves work capacity, joint resilience, and movement quality
* Includes mobility, basic strength, cardio, core, and volume
* Think of it as "bulletproofing" your body before heavier training

==== - Prepares tendons and joints for weighted dips, pull-ups ====
* Builds aerobic capacity for higher training volume
* Reduces injury risk from early strength overload
* Improves recovery and training density

==== - Usually lasts 3–6 weeks at the start of a macrocycle ====
* Or can be done as off-season / deload style training
* GPP → Hypertrophy → Strength → Peak/Specificity

Would you like me to help build a GPP block for your calisthenics training? I can include mobility, conditioning, and bodyweight prep tailored to your goals.
