From next session will add 2.5kg to all bench weights as it's quite easy at the moment even when fatigued and pauses. Starting to enjoy the routine more and more- getting used to all the volume!

Not sure on the specific cycle number mate, my coach just e-mailed me a template, I just know it's an intermediate 5 week comp cycle! How have you found sheiko so far- did you find it got harder or easier as the weeks go on? Did you play around with the %s at all? | |||

Well, I've made it through my first week of sheiko (relatively) unscathed! Knees were a bit sore this morning but got through all the deadlifting ok.

Week 1 day 3 Workout went well today- still not finding it massively tough, although it's starting to harder with the cumulative fatigue- especially in lower back. Got another 15 sets of various deadlift variations so I'm better off saving judgement untill tomorrow I recon! bench- paused, all fairly fast reps 70x5 80x4 95x3 95x3 110x3 110x3 110x3 110x3 110x3 squats (no belt 110x5 125x4 145x3 145x3 165x3 165x3 165x3 165x3 165x3 165x3 incline dumbell press 35sx5 45sx4 45sx4 45sx4 45sx4 45sx4 dumbell fly, light, 5 sets x 10 ab crunces 3x10 85kgs | |||

Deadlifts really hard! bench was easy though- was only resting a minute between sets and long pauses. Think I'll up the weights by 2.5kg each set from now on. Next workout Thursday: bench/squat/bench assistance! Better hit some pbs at the end of this! Rich | |||

Just got back from first workout: Squat: no belt 5x105 4x125 4x125 3x145 3x145 2x165 2x165 2x165 2x165 2x165 bench: all paused reps 5x70 4x80 3x95 3x95 3x110 3x110 3x110 3x110 3x110 dumbell flies: 5x10, 10kgs pause squats, no belt: 5x105 5x125 4x145 4x145 4x145 4x145 4x145 abs: weighted crunches 3x10 80kgs Workout went well and was really tiring. Took about 1hr 30mins. Squats to start felt fairly comfortable but last couple of doubles were quite slow. Bench was pretty easy but don't want to increase the %s and miss reps in future workouts. Pause squats were an absolute killer- not used to this sort of volume! Think I might have to start wearing a belt as the workouts get harder! | |||

Post Edited: 22.05.2011 @ 16:07 PM by pia06rc Decided to start a training log in the run up to my next comp in 5 weeks time and beyond! Lifted in 2 comps so far, with my best comp total being 595kg in 93kg unequipped class. Hoping to try and smash the 600kg barrier in my next comp on the 25th June! Decided to run a sheiko comp prep cycle to see how I respond to high volume stuff. Started strength specific training in January and been training with low volume and high intensity so want to mix things up for a fun change. Routine will be 4 times a week, with the sessions being roughly 1.squat/bench/squat assistance, 2. deadlift/bench/deadlift assistance, 3.bench/squat/bench assistance, 4.bench/deadlift. All sessions have other assistance exercises at light weights to aid recovery, such as flies and good mornings. Roughly 35 sets per session so expecting to be quite sore!! Routine has a deload built into it in the last 10 days or so for recovery. Using my gym maxes, not comp maxes to work out the pecentages. Going for my first session now so will write it up later on today! Rich | |||

Post Edited: 20.05.2011 @ 23:58 PM by pia06rc alright mate, you say you've lost 4kg last few months. Did you find it easy to keep strength levels up or gain strength during this time? Are you gonna stay competing at the lower weight? |
