Let's Rock.. and a little bit of roll

brutusthebarber

After reading some of the logs here I decided to stick up my own. Mad busy doing bloody accounting exams lately but did the last one today so I've four months off before I go back to studying to get some respectable lifts.

Stats:
Age:22
Weight: 78kg
Height:180CM

I started Sheiko Program Number 29 3 weeks ago so I'm just about finished. Before I started I tested the Bench (PAUSE)/Deadlift(SUMO)/Squat/OH Press for my 1 RPM. They were 100/140/100/60 (in carlisle gym). Up to about 2 months ago I never really squatted(listening to football trainers telling me I didnt need too!!) so its pretty low but I feel it getting stronger each week.

I've three more workouts with this program to do then I'm going to retest the numbers. I was thinking of doing another Sheiko program after this one, anyone have any suggestions?

Did the gym today but just did faffed about doing some dips/pull ups/rows. I'm going to concentrate on the weighted dips. Got bw +50kg by 2 last week but nearly blacked out trying to get the last rep so I'm going to do +15kg or +20kg and get some high reps on that. Up next is Sheiko Wk 4 Day 1.

My aim is to get some decent lifts and possibly do a powerlifting competition in the next yr/18months. Lets see how it goes..

Lol.... quit trying to be me.

I've my ICAI Cap2 exams in 8 weeks, have done 2 Sheiko cycles and competed in a shed load of PL comps!!

Good luck with it. Any reason you picked sumo deads over conventional?

Well I'm lighter than you does it still count:)

I just did my P1 today it was the last exam so hopefully I get on to the next level. How many more exams you have after that??

TBH I've only start doing the deadlift since the start of the year (I blame the football). I've tried it both ways and sumo seems to suit me better. Not sure why really. Would it be the ROM involved or what??

Re the comps its one thing I've always wanted to do, if I'm going to be lifting weights I want to compete.

About the Sheiko, I'm thinking of just testing the lifts then using the same program? Any thoughts

As soon as, I think we do the session tomorrow night then practice a few of the exercises after? Dips,Inverted Rows, Pull ups.

And you should stick up your log so you can see the progress!!

Week 4 Day 1 Carlisle
REPS * SETS
Squat
50 x 5 x 1
60 x 4 x 1
70 x 3 x 2
80 x 3 x 3
90 x 3 x 2
75 x 20 x 1 (Box Squat)

Deadlift
70 x 3 x 1
80 x 3 x 1
90 x 3 x 1
100 x 3 x 1
110 x 3 x 1

Core work: one arm rows (different variations of this), plank and side also, supermans. Then some situps to finish it off.

The 90 kg squat by 3 by 2 felt easy. My squat is coming along nicely, the box squats (have to use an end of a bench) are definitly giving me a lot more strength with the push. My hip flexibility is getting alot better too, find it alot easier to get good depth without feeling it too much the next day. Sumos are class. I'm aiming for a 2 x bw before the end of the summer so about a 160kg lift.

If anybody reads this, is there any more core exerices I could be doing?? Also, anything to increase the hip flexibility?

brutusthebarber

Hanging from last night but did a session anyway.

Squats
50x1
60x1
70x1
80x1
90x1
100x1(Current Max)
105x1 PB

Pendlay Rows
60x5x2
70x5x3

Shoulder Press
50x5x5

Pull Ups
35 - 7 sets of 5.

Face Pulls
Worked to 30 kg with reps of 8.

Death by Barbell
1 set using 35kg.

Core Work. Situps. Stretch.

Happy with getting the squat 105 kg, it felt fairly easy and considering I was dyin its not too bad. When I test it properly I think 110 will go too.
The death by barbell wrecked me but its a quality exercise, the aim for this is to get to using 50kg for the entire set.

Wk 4 Day 2

I was supposed to deadlift today but the person I trained with wanted to squat so I owe Sheiko a deadlift, probably do it tomorrow if my hips aren't in bits.

SQUAT (Box)
60x4x2
70x4x2
80x4x1
90x2x1
Without box
90x2x1
100x1x1
105x1x1
Back to box
70x6x1
80x6x1
90x6x1

BENCH (All paused)
50x5x1
60x5x1
70x4x1
80x3x2
90x2x1
90x3x1


Loads of stretching and core stuff. I started the session with the plank, side plank, supermans and realised that when I do this stuff before a squat/deadlift session the lifts are a hell of a lot easier. So I'm going to do the core at the start and end of every session. The squat session killed me but it was good to get that amount of volume in. I was squatting with my Da, he used to be involved in the Hercules club so he gave me a good few tips re the squat and bench. He also squatted 120 for 3 at 54yrs of age:eek:
Good session overall, deadlift tomorrow.

brutusthebarber

I'm pushing the deadlift to tomorrow, where I intend on wrecking myself. Anyway did a good assistance session.

SLDL
60X5X1
70X5X3
75X5X1

Dips
bw x 12
+10kg x6
+15kg x6
+20kg x6
+25kg x6
+30kg x6
+15kg x10
+20kg x8
After each of the above sets I did 5 chins, each with pause at top and slow as possible coming down.

Weighted Chins (All pause at top and slow as possible coming down)
+10 x3.
+15 x3
+20 x3
+15 x3
+10 x3

The weighted chins are very hard when combined with the pause at the top then coming down as slow as possible. The dips are getting stronger, would love if the gym had 25kg plates but you use what you got. The SLDL always kill my hamstrings. The weight I finish with will be the weight that I do the middle 3 sets. Quck question.. Should I reduce the sets and increase the reps for the SLDL or continue as I am??

brutusthebarber

DEADLIFT
70x3x1

90X5X1
100X4X2

Absolutely shattered after this..

Did some face pulls, worked to 30kg.

Planks (All variations) And some leg raises. Stretched. Wrecked.

Was happy doing the 125 by 2 three times. I usually sqaut and deadlift the same day, I might try doing one day heavy squats with some speed deadlifts and then vice versa see how it goes. One more Sheiko session to go then re-work the numbers and go again. Not sure whether to do this program number again, might try a different Sheiko program.

I might do one more traning session then rest on Friday and Saturday, do a light session on Sunday and test one of the Squat/Bench/Deadlift on the the Monday..

That month of Sheiko felt good, I think I could cope with some more volume too so all in all... Sheiko rocks balls:D

brutusthebarber

No time at all tonight, went to the gym and did the following;

75 Chins/Pull ups (all variations)
75 Dips.

Did the above in 15 sets, 1 set was 5 chin/pull ups and 5 dips. Tooke me 25 mins. I think I'll do this weekly. Want to get to the 100 of both in under 30 mins and then work from there.

After some sound advice I'll be adding 10% to all my lifts and starting Sheiko again on Monday.

Felt good after a few days off to get back into the squats. I was in the gym last saturday and just did a few random things so good to be back into a program. I'm going to try out the high reps in the leg press and just slowly increase the weights.

Bench was all paused again, felt fairly handy. This is Sheiko program #37 so it looks like it has alot more volume.. we'll see how it goes. Deadlift tomorrow.

Absolute terrible session last night.. the bar felt glued to the ground. Don't know whether I was just shot from the previous day or what. I dropped to 90 after each set just to try get some speed going. Shocking stuff. Going to really have to sort this out.

brutusthebarber

Wanted to do some work on the sumo so I just stayed in my gym (garage).

Worked up from 60kg to 110kg, increments of 5kg, with 2 sets of 5 at each weight. Concentrated on getting my ass down and keeping the form perfect. Felt alot better than Tuesday night anyway. I finished it off with 15 reps of bw, 80kg, as thats part of one of the new challenges. Its bleedin tough, looking forward to tryin them out tho.

Did a load of stretching as its squats tomorrow.

I was thinking about the squat all day yesterday as I think I'm doing it wrong. After reading one of the threads on squats and also Kevpants log I tried out a few different things. Before, I would do it Rippetoe style, head down and elbows up and all that, I was able to hit parallel but coming up was a struggle. So yesterday, I kept the head up, elbows lower and back and the difference was ridiculous. I was able to go down way below parallel and coming up was alot easier, so I owe that thread and Kevpants a thanks! Delighted with the bench too, was working in with someone and they were doing a hefty bench so it pushed me on to do more.

Going to squat again today.

Happy with the squats, doing the leg press straight after is tough, legs will be stiff tomorrow. The new way of doing the squats is defo alot better and even has my knee in better shape.

brutusthebarber

Warmup sets of dips and chins, then..

3 sets of 3 Chins followed by 5 dips

Then went up in weight by reps of 3..
+20x3
+25x3
+30x3
+35x3
+40x3
+50x2

Finished it off with as many chins/pull ups as I could do in ten minutes, doing sets of 3. I didnt count how many I got, next time I'll do sets of 4 and just keep upping the reps.

brutusthebarber

WK2 Day 2

115x3x2

Did some lat pull downs and inverted rows. Then did core. Deadlift felt good, the weight is coming up alot smoother than before and my ass is stayin down too. Last deadlift session I did 120 by 3x2 but the form was pretty poor so I dropped it down and got the form right, I'll go back to that next time I'm deadlifting.

brutusthebarber

Feeling shattered at the minute but I wanted to do a bench session anyway.

90x2x2
80x5x1
75x5x1
70x10x1

Squats feel good, its good just working on reps and getting the form right (well I think its right). I'm going to film some lifts, dont know what the Carlisle's policy is on filming so I might do them out my garage, see how I get on. Mainly for form check (the 1rpm will be done in a few months).

Delighted with the pause on the end of the bench sets, always good to have the last rep fly up.

brutusthebarber

Annoyed with todays session just didnt feel right so I'm going to do some of the fitness challenges tonight. Anyway, did the following..

Pull Ups
5x2 bw

SLDL
60X5X1
80X5X3

60X6X1

Hang Clean
Warmed up with 40kg.

60x3x3

Shoulder Press
40x6x2
50x5x2
Went into push press..
60x5x3 I can go heavier with this just concentrating on getting the technique right.

Inverted Rows
5x2

Dips
10x2 bw
32 in sixty seconds. Not bad, there is more there though.

Leg Press
80x10x1
100x10x1
120x8x1
140x8x1
160x5x1
180x5x1
200x5x1
220x5x1
230x10x1

As I said just wasnt happy with the session. I'll just put it down as a bad session and concentrate on doing one of the challenges tonight.. I'm going to go for the Transform special, looks like a dinger of a workout. Instead of doing that I filmed the max for the three lifts.. going to find out how to work this computer thingy and get them up.

brutusthebarber

Right so I tested the max for each lift so here they are.

Bench 100kg at 77kg bw

Deadlift 150kg @77kgbw

Squat 110kg @77bw

I reckon my squat wasnt deep enough.. What are peoples views?

Hanley

Bench and deadlift were a-ok for the challenge purposes. Squat was about an inch or two high I'm afraid. Pretty much the same ass Bossarky's the other day.

Form wise... bench was pretty good. Your lats/upper back are probably a bit behind strength wise tho (watch how your elbows flair out).

Deadlift was a bit scary to watch... I don't think I've ever seen someone start with their hips and shoulders at the same level and still make a lift!! Way to grind it out. Not the healthiest long term approach tho.

Other than the squat being a bit high it was good tho!!

So do you reckon its flexibility with the squat or something else?

I'll keep that in mind bout the elbows, it happens when I'm doing a max rep though. Should I drop down in weight and keep the elbows tucked?

For the upper back/lats, would rows and pull ups be the best bet?

Yeah the deadlift is not good viewing. When I lift conventional my ass stays high.. but sumo it stays low. Its just something I have to work on.

Thanks for the comments man

SQUAT
60X5X1
70X5X1
75X4X2
85X3X2
90X3X5
60X6X1
70X5X2

25 Pull ups/Chins supersetted with 25 dips. Each set was 5 pull/chin ups follwed by 5 dips.

Then I did three sets of 5 chins with 10 dips.

I think I was breaking parallel with the squat but I'll film it again in my garage and mark out where I have to go down as far as to make sure I do actually break parallel. I'll do that Monday.

Next time I'm doing the pull ups and dips superset I'll do them all weighted.

brutusthebarber

Did the Transform challenge today in my gym. Did it in 46:37 which I was fairly happy with. I kept each k under 5 mins, struggled on the Ab rollouts though.

The challenge is one of the hardest things I've done in a long while. When your starting the 4th round your thinking what the hell am I doing. Hopefully doing this and a few of the other challenges will get the fitness up to a decent level.

brutusthebarber

Went down to do Wk3 Day 1 of the program but after the first set of squats I got a shooting pain in my lower back ->ass ->hamstring so I had to call it quits with the squat. Disgusted with it really, dont know whether it was down to the challenge yesterday or what so I'll just have to see how it goes. Did the bench anyway and a few other things.

Bench
60x5x1
70x5x2
80x4x1
85x3x2
90x3x3

Shrugs
100x5x4
120x5x1

Pull ups
5x2

Chins.. with 2 second pause at top of each rep.
5x5

Bench is okay, the 90kg is going up relatively easy but not as easy as I'd like. Think weighted dips and incline bench are the way to go to get the bench moving.

brutusthebarber

Messed about in my garage tonight..

Did 48? push ups in one minute.. video to follow.

Did a good few sets of the wide grip pull up.. going to test this one out over the weekend.

Pull Ups

Was happy with the 100x3x2.. before I started Sheiko my max was 100 so its not bad going to be repping it bout a month an a half later.

I seem to just be stuck on the shoulder press, going to drop it back down and increase the reps.

Chins
+5 x 10
+10 x 6
+15 x 6

Then did three sets were one set is 3 Chins and 5 Dips:
+10
+15
+20

At the end I kept the 20kg on and tried to knock out as many as I could, got exactly 2 chins and 10 dips. Think I my arms were dead from the previous sets. Decent session though, I want to get up to doing a chin at +30kg, once I hit that I'll concentrate on weighted pull ups.

Elbow was acting up a bit after the cleans. It felt grand throughout the bench but still was a bit sore when I was leaving the gym. If I'm doing the cleans I might just do them in my own gym instead of the carlisle. See if the change in bar will make a difference.

Had a match last night so I was wrecked all day and in a bit of a rush to get to the gym. So I just did a light squat session, legs are in ribbons. PR with the SLDL, I think I'll stick to the 8 reps for this.

Not happy with the bench at all, feel like its just going nowhere. With Sheiko I'm doing the same reps as before, not any easier not any harder, just staying the same. I might have one more bash at a Sheiko program and then go back to the 6,6,6 way of sets that I did before. Sheiko for squat and deadlift is class but I reckon a change will do me good with all the lifts.

Deadlift felt good trying to keep the form right while slowly increasing the weights. The bench was a PR for reps, had a spotter today so wanted to push the reps.

The dynamic warmup is probably the best thing ever. I saw it on Roper's blog and on a thread a while back so tried it out today. It really loosened out my hips and hammers, felt very good. I finished off the session with it too.

I'm leaving squats for a week, as that niggle is still there so better to be safe. I've a few cup games coming up so dont want to risk it.

Warm down, slower version of warmup.

Weighed in at 80kg today although havent really noticed much change. Arms felt dead after the shoulder press and the pull ups knackered me, so bench was very poor.

Stiff as a board after the deadlift yesterday so took extra time with the warmup and also did a good few sets of planks.

Finished it off with 5 Pull ups. Happy with tonights session, took me bleeding ages and was alot of volume to get through. I'm going to stick with this format and just add 1 rep to each set the next time I do it. It looks all over the place but it works.

Right, this attempt at the program has been brutal really, I'm going to finish it off anyway and then start again. There are 5 more sessions with this one so I'm going to bust my balls and get every stinkin rep I have to.

First time doing the front squat, felt good. I'm going to do this every session.

90 by 6 with the bench felt strong, hopefully it slowly progresses.

Sick I didnt get the 70 with the clean. I'll keep at it though.

Pull ups are motoring nicely, was happy with the two sets of dips too.

I focking hate shoulder pressing! I'll just keep at these reps and slowly increase the weight.

Deadlift was a killer, hips are shot from my match last night. Felt good to bust out the reps though.
