So, my wife and I are volunteering at the Oktoberfest here next Saturday, and we got our shirts from her friend (who’s running the beer booth we’re working at-BOOYAH!) and my wife goes

W: “Your shirt is huge. If you need to go down (from an XL) to a L, she said to let her know”
Me:“Ok, well how big is this shirt?”
unfold
“Oh, damn (feels like it won’t fit) I’ll try it on anyway…”
BOOM-fits!
“Ha, bigger than I thought I am!” Then I ran around with the “problem meme” look on my face for a while.

Sheiko 5 Week Comp Cycle
Week 1 Day 3 *I decided to keep on track with the set workouts, despite being behind a few days. I was worn out, and not having to work either day this weekend drove me into full on “LAZY MODE”, so that’s what I’ve been doing with that. This week I’m getting last weeks last workout in (below) and then this week’s stuff starting tonight and tomorrow, to get me back on track. Should be interesting, as tomorrow’s session will be skills eval, working up to 90% single in all 3 lifts, after training yesterday and tonight. Problem?

Bench
135x2x2
150x3
180x3
195x3
205x2x2
225x2x4
235x1
*Everything paused, of course. Paused as in: Down, stop…and…PRESS, not just down-pauPRESS (yes you, clax, PAUSE LONGER or you’ll be in for a big surprise in 25 days :slight_smile: -lol)

Incline DB Flyes, palms towards feet throughout movement
5x10@30#s
Upper chesticle BURN

Squat
Wonderful Warmups
155x3x2
190x3
225x2x2
*belt
235x3x2
250x4x2 *Was supposed to be 4 sets of 2, but I wanted to get it over with so I knocked out 2 sets of 4, and almost passed out on the last rep. PUSH IT FTW!

Skipped GM’s, I think I’ll get enough work in this week to make up for it.

I’m actually starting to like benching, probably because I feel more comfortable with my setup and I am actually progressing. I guess benching 3x a week will do that though :wink:

bench and squats looked good. I bet it’ll help out in your next meet that you’ve been doing more than 1 of the big lifts almost every day. That has to have some positive carry over.

No doubt. I’ve PR’d lately, so I know the frequency of hitting the “big 3” is working for me. I’m gunna ride this wave until it hits the shore, brah

205

All this volume must be doing wonders for your form in the big lifts. Noticed any big changes in that regard?

206

Phlegmy, yeah dude, I actually think my bench form is 1000% better than it ever was before, and I’m hitting depth on my squats easier while feeling tighter throughout. Hard to judge the deadlift since I haven’t done much of it. That’s the only downside to Sheiko I think, but we will see how I’m doing tomorrow, on skills evaluation day

Week 2 Day 1
Squat
1552
1902
22532
23523
Easy

Bench
1352
1803
1952
2052*3
Easy

Floor flyes
3*10@30#s

That’s it. Tomorrow is basically a meet, working up to a 90% single on all three lifts. Time off would help, but fuck it, I got work to do

LWI

207

Kill it tomorrow.

208

Inky Inky he’s our man, if he can’t do it…well I sure as hell ain’t!!

haha

Have fun…

209

LWI, SFW and all that good stuff.

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and hear the lamentation of their women.

Conan is on netflix, so sue me.

210

DF-I’ll try. I’m fucking beat up right now.

MIM-LOL, didn’t know you were a cheerleader. LOL

Wiggles-haha, thanks man. And I’ve got no issue with Conan lines being dropped in here. LOVE those movies (still need to see the new one though)

Like I said, feeling beat up today. I think tonights session might kill me, but if not…I’ll have beat my last meet total by 35ish pounds, and that’s running up to 90%. I’ve been eating a lot, to try and recover as much as possible the last couple of days, and I think it’s helping. We’ll see what happens!

bbing show in the works my man?

the hell does that mean?

214

cough cough

Ink, what would be a good total for me at my weight?

215

Good Work my friend. Check out this video, and keep killing it.

216

Today’s total: over 9000

217

Are you still alive??

218

Rock, it means, “dafuck you say?!” And for a good total, at your weight of what…180? I’d say anything over 5x BW is good by my standards, but other are probably more dickheadish and would say something like 7-8xBW?

Herc, dude that video is awesome. The DL @ 1:00 where he shakes, is awesome. And WTF is going on @ 3:15? Deads with a yoke bar on his back also? Crazy shit!

Blaze, close…you got the first digit wrong though :wink:

MiM, barely.

Last nights session, all things aside, was fucking perfection. I’ve had some family stuff to dealwithit.jpg right now, and it’s hard, to be honest. I had to channel everything I had to go deep into rage-mode, and SFW last night. SFW feels so good sometimes, you just can’t help but pull the beanie a little lower and push yourself harder than what’s “prescribed”. 90%? Sure, but I want a PR…so…what do you think is gunna happen?

Boom. That’s what happens. 1000# total. 65# “meet” total. Depth was there. Obeyed all commands in my head. Fucking hell, I’m counting them all.

Sets looked like this:

Squat
155x2
190x3
225x2x2
255x1 (Acting opener)
285x1
300x1 (90% 1RM)

Bench
135x2
155x3
195x2x2
225x1 (Opener)
250x1 (Easy)
Said “fuck 260 (prescribed), I want a PR”
275x1 +10#PR, from 2 sessions ago, haha. I <3 Sheiko!

Deadlift
135xSome
225x3
265x2
315x2
355x1 (Opener)
Interrupted by sobbing daughter
395x1
425x1 (420 was “scheduled” but I needed 1000)
*Really tried a different approach with my DL this time. I didn’t look down, grab the bar, breath out, then back in and go. I tried to exhale everything while standing up, arms up, deep breath in, get down to the bar without looking at it (head up) and rip the fuck out of it. feelsgoodman.

Taking today OFF, since 3 days of sheiko in a row is rough. On track to kill it Friday, then off this weekend. I’m volunteering at the Oktoberfest on Saturday, so hopefully I’ll score some good beers afterwards. Beers are anabolic, right?

219

well damn

I’m already curling 12xBW

220

Hell yeah man!!! That’s bad ass and you were pretty much just going to 90%'s! When you’re done with this program and hit anoter meet you’re going to be WAY stronger and smash your previous total.
