I think I’m catching some of bug’s gheyness… Terrible workout today. Bench felt sooo heavy, even though this part of the program is still well below my max. Probably because I only got about three hours of sleep last night…
Front Squat
135x5
135x5
185x4
185x4
205x3
205x3
205x3
RDL
185x5
185x5
185x5
225x5
225x5
Notes: Pretty good session overall, I’m finally getting somewhat used to the volume.
Right after my first set of 205 on bench, I realized I’ve had about 800mg of caffeine and 75mg of ephedrine today. Today has been so busy I didn’t even realize I’ve had that much. After that I made sure to drink after ever set, and will be downing water the rest of the night. oops.
Bug has stalked me on facebook. I blame JB.
Me and JB will be taking notes from Push come tuesday, I’m actually excited to meet my second random guy from the internet.
joined a new gym today can’t wait too tear it up, went in today for back and bi’s session everything is pretty much in pounds. The girls at the desk were phenominal meaning I’m going to be more inclined not too miss a session. There’s enough weights and machines that the busy sessions there is no chance on waiting for something.
not sure on the weights i used but today did
lat pull down wide grip
chest supported row
seated row
shrugs
curls
machine preacher
good session all up so happy they have a shrug machine
Damn Mike and JB! You guys are going to go out with Pusharder? That should be fun! lol
Today’s Legs
Hack Squat machine:
10plates x5
6plates+10s x20
*60 second per leg quad stretch
Seated Leg Curl:
185x16, 10, 7 RP
*60 second hamstring stretch
Seriously love this style for legs, feels incredibly intense and I get a great workout without being in the gym forever. Hack squats felt good, will be keeping 10plates for the heavy set next week and shooting for 7+ reps. Plan to add another 20lbs to the 20rep set.

Push is in cinci. We shoudl hang out with him if all goes well.
Vegg, your going down, I’ve hit 265 like 3 months ago. I did sheiko at 275 and its all beenme asyt. Powned!
Gah, why are you only benching 205 for 4? Regardless, I will use my viking genetics and Scandinavian death metal to beat you. [/quote]
Meh, you’re kinda skinny for a viking… Did they leave your male ancestors at home cooking meals for the women instead of letting them come along on their raids?
Just kidding brother, all hail death metal!
Give my greetings to the old geezer if you guys decide to hang out with him ;D
So I think the seated leg curls irritated my knees. They are kinda sore when I left my leg up like pulling my foot up toward my ass, but if I do a squat they don’t hurt so I definitely don’t think its the hack squats that did it.
Also when I was doing the hacks my knees felt good, they felt kinda weird when I was doing the seated curls last night. May switch to lying leg curls…
My max was 265 at july/august, so when I started Sheiko I set my max at 275 because I’ve heard the bench is too easy. Even with the higher max, I’ve had to bump some numbers up, and I’m fairly confident 275 and 285 will go up next week. Then its only 1-2 more cycles before I get it.
My (huge) goal is to have a 3/4/5 before I turn 19 on Jan. 5.
If I get everything I hope for next week, Ill be at 280ish bench, 365ish squat, and low to mid 400s on deadlift.

At least I have the spinal erectors of a viking…
Slutman Mike, just you wait. I only have to put 70lbs on my bench in a month and a half…

I never liked seated leg curls… Interestingly, people over at IM usually recommend guys who put seated leg curls into their DC rotation to switch to lying or do a different exercise… (DB leg curls can work quite well, btw)

Ok thanks for the info. was hoping you would see that post and chime in. I’ll swap them back out for lying leg curls instead…my knees are killing me today and I know for a fact it was not the hack squats.
Everyone watched me do my 10plate set on them, my girl was in there watching too you should have seen her face, lol. I was going almost rock-bottom deep on every rep and straining sooo hard all the way up on every rep, every rep was intense!
As soon as I got off she looked at me and was like “OMG, your eyes are so fucking red!” I walked over to the mirror to look and it seriously was like my eyes were bleeding, lol.
Honestly I’ve never seen anyone at the gym use more than 4plates+25s (that’s total, not per side) and even then it was for like 1/4 ROM reps. Most the guys seem to stick to the leg press with the same 1/4 ROM reps…lol Guess the hack squat machine is just too humling for the ego lifters.

You should have let your girl tape that… Would have made a nice candidate for “intense set of the month” over at IM

Maybe I’ll have her come with me and tape it next Monday…plan is to hit the same 10plates but for at least 2-3 more reps. Should be just as much or even more intense, lol.
