Simeon		MAXIMAL PENETRATION: The Sim Castle Method	07-03-2011 @ 12:31
tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	Post Edited: 27.12.2013 @ 10:17 AM by Simeon I've decided embark upon a sheiko routine as I find high volume works well for me, but I struggle to stick to it without a really structured plan. I like the idea of training the competition lifts frequently too. I found this really good app called sheikodroid which calculates all your sets according to 1RMs that you set, so I'll be using this. Starting off with #29 SHORT TERM GOALS Deadlift - 240kg DONE 260 Squat - 200kg DONE Bench - 140kg DONE Strict press - 100kg Frontie - 150kg DONE 18" deadlift - 260kg DONE Incline dumbbell - 50s for 3 reps DONE 5 reps SLDL - 220kg DONE MID TERM GOALS Deadlift - 260kg DONE Squat - 220kg Bench - 160kg Front squat - 175kg Strict press - 110kg Push press - 125kg Floor to overhead - 125kg 18" deadlift - 300kg Incline dumbbell - 50s for 10 reps Snatch - 100kg CJ - 125

Been pretty ill for over two weeks and lost quite a bit of weight so I thought I'd struggle more than I did! Considering i've never done close to this much volume i think it's a pretty good start.

don't have a cow, man !! Member 1951, 116 posts	Post Edited: 09.03.2011 @ 14:48 PM by cowsforsale For the deadlifts up to knees, deficit deadlifts and rack pulls, are you going to pull sumo style for them too?

tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	For the deads up to the knees and deficit deads i'll be pulling sumo, as it'll have more carryover for speed off the floor which is what I struggle with. I've substituted the rack pulls for regular 18" deads as I see it as a more general back strengthening exercise.

don't have a cow, man !! Member 1951, 116 posts	Ah cool, Very interested on how this turns out, was thinking of doing sheiko myself after this current routine. (not too sure about the volume of benching though ha). Good luck.

tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	I'm liking it so far! I think I'm getting more used to the volume already, as it's felt easier. And I'm even aching less now. Hoping to see some decent gains from this.

Member 1668, 1499 posts SQ 186, BP 102, DL 211 499.0 kgs @ 93kgs UnEq	Box squats? I didn't know that Sheiko uses them.

tight in the hole Member 2057, 3121 posts SQ 205, BP 140, DL 260 605.0 kgs @ 95kgs UnEq	I swapped those in. Most of my squatting is to a box
