Well, I guess you will be able to have some insight from my log to help in that decision making. Ill try to be detailed as I can.
Thanks. I know sheiko style works for me, its how ive been training most of the last year or two. If I didnt misread your total comparison from the start of your log, it looks like im not the only one who gets good squat gains, great deadlift gains, and so-so bench gains from Sheiko,

I would have to agree. Im not sure that I am built well for benching and putting mass on my upper body has always been a struggle. My bench is moving, just so damn slow in comparison to squat and deadlift.
Yea definitely on the same page. 15lb on my bench over the last 2 years. I think some of that though it Im probably closer to my bench potential, I did a lotof bench press before I started powerlifting, not so much for deadlifts, and definitely not for squats.
Lol, that literally sounds exactly like my situation as well. Reaping benefits on squat and deadlift due to low training age…
I did a fair amount of deadlift training before, but nothing has shot my deadlift up like training squats properly. My deadlift hovered around 250kg ± 5kg literally for years. As soon as I started squatting it shot up.

Your pulling sumo right? Ive been debating on whether or not I want to make a transition for a few months to see how that would go.
I do pull sumo yes. I started as a conventional puller but, as they say, inside every conventional puller is a sumo puller waiting for a back injury. Since my back went I haven’t even considered pulling heavy conventional. It helps that Im very poorly built for conventional pulls, making Sumo much more efficient for me.

You always have had such an efficient squat. Will always be your best lift. Can see you squatting big numbers. Stay healthy!

Appreciate it, this stance is definitely the strongest setup I’ve had so far. Hopefully one day I can hit 500lbs with sleeves sub 200 BW.

Following Sheiko intermediate load for the rest of the observation period in the Sheiko gold app. Still got a lot of residual leftover from this cold that’s getting me pretty good. Was out of town the past two days and sleep has been shit so my joints are starting to yell at me. Backing off the intensity a bit.

Hoping to get a good nights rest soon. Kid has a double ear infection and cutting some of his last teeth this week on top of being sick again. Been challenging getting to lift with any sort of energy.

There are times you feel like pulling your hair out for sure but they are no doubt the most exciting part of life that i have experienced so far. Would not trade him for anything.
