LOL, like I said, it’s nothing close to authentic, but if you throw meat, veggies, and seasonings together you can still get something that tastes good. Of course, if you go in expecting it to taste authentic, it’s like drinking a glass of orange juice when you were expecting milk…

So like this
Well, no. I was thinking more in the lines of-
Main lift- Some sensible progression program that can be continued for a while and shows immediate result- you literally see or feel some sort of improvement the next time you do this lift, like the bar speed feels better or you can do more reps.
Accessory lifts- Here just to make sure you do stuff that is good for your body and help build some muscles.
If only there were simple programs out there that focused on getting strong in the big lifts and told you to stop being an idiot about all the accessory work. Where on earth could we find such a thing? I am stumped.

Been busy, didn’t feel like logging.
Sheiko #37 Week 1: Day 5 (Friday)
too lazy to log, will just post screenshot.
I did everything without belt, did the squat sets together,
good mornings done with 40kg, tricep pushdown 5 (sets)x10(reps) w/ 22.5lbs, subbed DB flyes with 5x5 chins supersetted with squat reps
- felt good going in, a bit tired bc didn’t sleep well, but got the work in, squats felt lighter than expected considering I’ve never actually done 70kg beltless
Yesterday: Dicking around in the gym (friends came back)
Some presses and rows, random curls, a few powercleans,
Updates:
- Advisor wants me do break down my data “in as many ways as possible”. That’s easy. The problem is that he wants a ton of charts. I seriously want to give up. For every minute I spend actually parsing/analyzing the data, I spend at least 30 trying to get the formatting right. I’ve had to remake most of my charts at least three times because I catch small typos. I swear he will be able to tell if one of the charts is 5.26" x 8.17’ and if another is 5.25"x 8.14". I want to give up…
- Classes start tomorrow! Really excited.

Don’t do this. Swap the flyes for a different chest/shoulder exercise that doesn’t hurt, but don’t swap them for a completely different muscle group. They’re in there to help strengthen your chest and shoulders, which will have more direct carryover to your bench.
Move the pull-ups to your GPP day (which needs serious reworking anyways…).

would front and lateral raises work?
Do you have access to cables? If I were to sub out db flyes, that would be my go to.
yes, but it’s the most popular piece of equipment in the gym and is always taken

No, because they don’t hit your pecs. Push-ups, plate-pinch press, dips, DB bench or similar would all be best.
Have you tried decline flyes? Or flye-presses? They should be easier on your shoulders.

okay I think I’ll do DB bench in lieu of flyes
Pushups and dips are already party of the program
Try and do them with a “wide” ROM; think of expanding your chest as you lower and drawing your elbows away from your body, while keeping your forearms vertical.

I might have won the genetic lottery for strength but I think I might have much a higher body fat set point than I’d like
Pretty much all of humanity does.

Is this truly how much volume is called out for each session in Sheiko?
I added up the sets and this is 45 sets in a session. I have never seen a program with that many sets in one session.
If you constantly feel like crap, this is probably why.

Sheiko is known for extremely high volume
Actually quite the opposite. I seem to have increased my recovery ability significantly over the past year and a half.
The last time I ran it, I felt like the one day rest between sessions wasn’t enough. This time, I feel ready to go the very next day
Maybe it’s because I’m lifting a lower percentage of my bodyweight though so it’s less fatigue
How long does that take you? looks like a minimum 2 hour gym session
Narrator: her legs didn’t actually look fat.
