Can you do overhead press and barbell rows along with sheiko? If so what set and rep scheme should you use? I wasnt sure about doing the overhead press because you are already doing alot of pressing with bench work. Would also like the barbell rows because i love upperback work and really dont want to just not do it.

You can always tweak it to fit your needs! I think the reason it has worked so well for me is because after I got a feel for the program I customized it a bit. If i was you I would drop all benching on saturday and do overhead presses instead. And on the days you do two deadlift variations I would do the heavy barbell row for the second one.

… Shutting down training early to allow my back to heal. I am confident the work I put in to recharge, reload, and smoke a PR on the 21st was sufficient. I will let this week be all about rest, recovery, and an opportunity to enjoy the blessings I received from what initially looked like as a set back. I am excited to mentally prepare and visualize bringing more intensity, passion, and faith to the stage April 21st at my first Pro level show. No matter what your situation is never focus on the negatives. I truly believe everything happens for a reason and if you dig hard enough, a situation that may look discouraging can very well be a blessing.

Well im dissapointed to say the least. Warmed up to 455 and my back injury forced me to shut it down and pull out of the competition. Looks like its worse then I thought. First Pro show and amazing opportunity missed but keeping a postive attitude. Will talk to Chiropractor monday and focus on bench and rehab to fix all my weaknesses to correct this issue. Incredibly blessed for all the people who support me and I really wish I could of hit something big for ya. Next full meet is in December and I promise I’ll come back Stronger then ever. Nothing in my life has ever came easy and powerlifting is no exception. Faith, dedication, passion, and discipline has never failed me and those four things will get my through this.

… Day 1 back in the gym was rough. Trying to stay patient and figure out what I need to do in the gym to strengthen the muscles needed to fix this Si Joint problem. Its hard for me to not go balls to the wall in a training session so this next few weeks are gonna be just as hard mentally as physical coming back from this injury. None the less what doesn’t kill my makes me stronger so will keep a positive attitude! Starting bench pretty light because i didnt bench much these last few weeks and will slowly add weight. Will be hammering posterior chain work because i think it will be a remedy for this problem.

… Learning more and more everyday on where my weaknesses are. I believe I have a extended anterior pelvic tilt that may be causing the lower back pain. Been working on some stretches to bring back some mobility and lower back pain has already started to go away. Its looking like I will need to change my squat form up a little bit and not sit back so much. I have been watching videos of Sam Byrd on how he squats and will work on it each time squats come up. I actually think this style of squatting will actually have more carryover to my deads.
