Please keep us updated on this. I’ve been doing box jumps/kneeling jumps on my “off” days. Can’t say for certain that it has been helping my squats, but jumping has started to feel more natural again. I’m interested to see you’re take on this.

Herro in here.

Since you seem to be the local Sheiko expert I’m dropping in with a question, hope you don’t mind.

I was wondering if the Sheiko cycles are designed to build upon each other until a meet? I’m just about to finish 29, and I have a meet in 9 weeks. I’ve considered doing 37 and then 32, but I would really prefer to work out more than three times a week.
So the question is:
Would it be stupid to stop just after one cycle of 29?

Thanks

Sure thing Boss, I didn’t do any today because my guys didn’t feel it was deemed necessary for today’s training session. Will either do some tmr for restoration or just part of my warm up Friday.

Oh hai!

Sheiko is a system that is periodized to build upon each other until a meet. I mentioned a few pages back that literally the worst thing you can do with Sheiko is just stop after one cycle and move on. I would highly recommend to do #37 followed by #32, as that’s the usual order most if not all Shieko adherents do.

#37 and and #32 are brutal. I’m having a hard time with #37 right now ahaha. If you do want to train for more than 3 days a week, I’d add in some light (LIGHT) extra workouts a la Louie Simmons style and use them as restoration workouts to recover from training. Although, doing just the Sheiko cycles are pretty taxing in and of itself.

Would you recommend going 29, 37, 32? I don’t really understand how to progress between cycles. I’m planning on putting on weight during the time period I’m considering running these so my maxes could go up quite a bit. Do I test between cycles? If so how do I do that? I don’t know if I’m going to hit a meet at the end of 32 but if I don’t I’m basically going to make it a test run because I know this summer I am going to do a meet.

And I noticed you don’t do everything to a T on sheiko as far as I can tell is there a reason for this and should I even worry about changing assistance exercises (ie. flies and GM’s)?

Yes, I recommend doing Shieko in that order. You don’t test in between cycles, you just add 5lbs-10lbs to each of your lifts at the end each cycle.

Shieko is just a template. I would recommend sticking to a T for a while. I understand the programming of Shieko, so I know what I need to do to make the system work for me, that’s why my plan deviates. You can plug in different assistance lifts or even main lifts, but that comes with experience. I wouldn’t mess with it until you do Sheiko for 2 years straight.

This is a fantastic log. I will be following. Really strong lifting. When you say ‘olympic squats’, does that mean high bar, narrow stance and ass to grass? If so then you are one god damn strong squatter! What is your best competition squat? Raw and equipped?

Like so.

My best competition Raw squat was probably my 530 at 181

My best competition Equipped is 725lbs at 198

That is fantastic dude… Is that USAPL/IPF I am guessing?

lol? I guess that means it is multiply lifting? Nevertheless, nice lifting buddy. You only get like 200lb carryover from multiply + 2.5m knee wraps? Dude… I get like 220lb from single ply and 2m knee wraps… You must wear loose gear like a pansy. hahaha jk jk

Yeah, no offense but I hate the USAPL/IPF

I do like wearing my gear loose, I hate having to torture myself in order to get more carryover. It’s just not worth it, I rather have my base strength make up for it.
