Made it to gym after work since I didn't make it yesterday. Long session even though I skipped db fly. Tad crazy cause the last sets on deadlift from box were at 100% max but made it through. deadlift 1x4 @ 135, 2x4 @ 159, 2x3 @ 186, belt 2x3 @ 215, 4x2 @ 225 bench 1x8 @ 65, 1x7 @ 69, 1x6 @ 75, 1x5 @ 79, 1x4 @ 88, 2x3 @…

Starting Sheiko 40 last night. Had a few options but thought this one might be fun to try. One of the days I have to do my 1rm on deadlift, so fun to give that a go again. Schedule wise, worked out that for the meet it's better to lift Monday-Wednesday-Friday to line things up for the peak cycle that will be next, 32. And…

Made it through Sheiko 31 on the 10th, so last night I did a random session as I'm between parts of the program. Will start 32 the month leading up to the meet as it's the most recommended for peaking and need to pick which one to do before that. Last night was lower body and think tomorrow will be more upper body but…

Already October. I lifted a few times already but forgot to post. Today's workout: bench 1x5 @ 65, 1x4 @ 75, 2x3 @ 88, 2x2 @ 99, 3x1 @ 115, 2x2 @ 99 deadlift 1x3 @ 135, 1x3 @ 159, 2x3 @ 186, 2x2 @ 215, 2x1 @ 239 db fly 5x10 @ 20 leg press 6x5 @ 240 - machine cable abs 3x10 @ 80 - with rope

Beeps - Thanks. Envy on the sleep like a log moment. Do appreciate a good sleep. Julie - Thanks. I don't always post. Tonight's lifting: bench 1x5 @ 65, 1x4 @ 75, 2x3 @ 88, 2x2 @ 99, 3x1 @ 115, 2x2 @ 99 deadlift 1x3 @ 135, 1x3 @ 159, 2x3 @ 186, 2x2 @ 215, 2x1 @ 239 db fly 5x10 @ 20 leg press 6x5 @ 240 - machine cable abs…

Welcome back! And good luck. I have gym after work today. On last week of sheiko 31, which sometimes means lighter but tonight have to squat 195 for 3x1. Will see how it goes. Have to get planning out the peak cycle soon and decide which part of sheiko to do before then since I am competing in December at a local…

Lifted yesterday after work. Two days in a row wasn't too bad though my legs are tired and I skipped lunges as my knees hadn't been too happy. Second time of squats but was light so didn't need my belt. bench 1x5 @ 65, 1x4 @ 75, 2x3 @ 88, 5x3 @ 99 squat 1x5 @ 108, 1x5 @ 129, 1x5,8,3,6,2,7,4 @ 149 bench 1x5 @ 69, 1x5 @ 79,…

I agree that if people are behaving like that it should be addressed with the gym. I have been in commercial gyms for about 3 years now going to different one and even lift sometimes over in Hollywood. 80+% of the time a guy says anything it is "how many sets do you have left." The occasional compliment occurs whether…

Gym last night was okay. Bench 1x5 @ 65, 1x4 @ 75, 2x3 @ 88 (moved between sets), 2x2 @ 99 and 3x1 @ 115 Squat 2x8 @ 45, 1x5 @ 108, 1x4 @ 129, 2x3 @ 155, belt 5x2 @ 175 Bench 1x5 @ 69, 1x5 @ 85, 4x5 @ 99 Leg press 5x6 @ 180 (counted the plates only for the weight) Standing good morning 5x5 @ 115 Skipped db fly because…

Gym last night was okay. Had to wait a fair amount each time then had some guy for the first set of bench press who didn't quite understand English end up working in. He didn't understand the "I was waiting first" aspect. Nor did he get "That bench is open now if you want to go use it" so I ended up moving over once guys…

Cardio early this morning at Griffith park for an hour walk. Then was lazy most of the day but also made it to the gym.

Gym was okay but slow. Had to wait 20 minutes to squat. Also, I've been having a headache off and on for 4 days now and squats don't quite help. But I survived all of the lifting and did a fair amount of sets for day 1 of the third month on this program. Sheiko 31 bench 1x5 @ 65, 1x4 @ 75, 2x3 @ 88, 2x3 @ 99, 4x2 @ 106…

I was going to lift Saturday night but then sister ended up going to spend time with her friends so didn't have the car. Instead, I went early yesterday before the extra shift I picked up at my old store (just floor, not in pharmacy).

Oops, I keep forgetting to post in here. Almost done with this month's cycle, sheiko 30. One more day then I can start 31.

Nice. I kinda miss yoga. Today was bench and deadlift after working at store #2 (I work at 2 stores mostly right now). bench 1x8 @ 45, 1x5 @ 65, 1x4 @ 75, 2x3 @ 88, 2x3 @ 99, 3x2 @ 106 deadlift 1x4 @ 135, 1x4 @ 159, 2x3 @ 186, belt 2x3 @ 215, 3x2 @ 225 bench 1x5 @ 69, 1x5 @ 79, 4x4 @ 95 db fly 5x10 @ 17.5 curtsy lunge with…

Beeps - ooo kayak. That sounds great. Good luck with the protein. I still struggle at that and hitting the fats while in a deficit. Carbs, them are easy. On last week of Sheiko 30. The month blocks of training are interesting and definitely a challenge. At work yesterday they had the yearly inventory. I didn't help much…

That's great Beeps. Busy day at work and managed to get lifting done after. Wore my new lululemon shorts that I got on my birthday that were on clearance. A nice maroon color too. bench 1x5 @ 65, 1x4 @ 75, 2x3 @ 88, 6x3 @ 99 squat 2x8 @ 45, 1x5 @ 108, 1x4 @ 129, 2x3 @ 149, 2x3 @ 175, 3x2 @ 185, 3x3 @ 175 bench 1x5 @ 65,…

I lifted on the 30th squats and bench. Last night, the 1st, was deadlift and bench. I weighed in too and blah. Back to 140 from vacation, birthday and such. Back to tracking and trying to get that number down.

Been lifting but having some computer issues as power cord doesn't work. Have to use one my sister borrowed cause hers quit working too. Am on Sheiko 30. Monday was squats and bench with top set of squats at 195. Today, once I made it to the gym after the commute from work, it was deadlifts and bench. deadlift to knees 1x4…

Beeps! Vacations are nice. Have fun and enjoy it. Yesterday's first session with Sheiko #30. Adjusted the starting maxes as I'd gone with the more solid bench 115 but switched it to the 125 that is the touch/go max. Went to the gym last night after work, which wasn't too bad. However, with the bench/squat/bench/squat and…
