lolz for you, good sir.

Looking forward to seeing how much more awesome you can get going back to your old style of training. Will you return to Sheiko again in the foreseeable future?[/quote]

I’ll probably return to Sheiko after Raw Nationals in August, I still like doing for offseason work, but I’ve come to realize that the peaking plan Sheiko wrote out for doesn’t properly prepare, and my friend’s programming works better FOR ME. I can’t emphasize that enough. I think Sheiko programming is genius, it’s just the peaking plan doesn’t agree with my body.

Thanks man, the box jumps are part of my neural activation before doing the main lift for the day.

I hope the training videos provide good insight to how I train, and give people some ideas to try out as well.

yeah of course - I certainly read/ watch and try to pick up a few tips here and that.

and that bench vid is sick - looked pretty fast!

Sweet video’s det. So you use the box jumps on your lower day as an activation exercise? Is that the purpose of the chest passes on upper day?

Have you noticed whether or not the neural activation stuff makes a difference in your performance for the day?

Yes and Yes

Yes, done right, it’s like doing speed work, although because the nervous is prime and not runned down like a speed squat/bench/deadlift, the weights move faster immediately after doing so.

Well that means the chest passes are paying off, especially since that was my close grip which feel weird to do (my training grip is pinky on the rings)

Due to me not deloading properly after my January meet, I’m taking the week off and restarting my training cycle because I’m burnt out.

When you do the neural activation work, do you mainly focus on being ‘fast’?

Well that’s the thing, the plyometric stuff that I do forces to be fast. Like the box jumps, you either explode off the ground and land high or you eat shit

Finally caved in and got an iPhone and this is what happens when I know it can do ANYTHING

Restarted my training block after taking the week off. I went to Columbus for Arnold weekend, needless to say I had a great time training over there.
