Not these specific bands but some shit like this. Get pairs of bands so you can use for band training down the road.

So just realized that with my lifts this last week I'm at a total of 1350. 365 bench 455 squat 545 pull. I know I benched more than 365 but the 385 was a questionable pause rep. I think I'm gonna shoot low and expect a minimum of 1500 by the end of my sheiko run. I only have to add a 135 pounds between 3 lifts. I know I have a lot of room in the squat and DL department. I haven't really set any goals going into this because it's all so new but I would like to hit 1500 during my mock meet at the end. Of course it will all be video documented.

1350 is wrong and my math apparently sucks. 1365 is what should be lol.

Man. I just left the gym. Now i feel like I need to go back.
Your numbers are driving me though. Keeping me motivated to keep making progress. After the cycle is over you know sometimes a little drive goes with it.
Trust me I know that feeling oh to well.
Took the weekend off for some recovery. Tomorrow will be the first day of block 29 Sheiko. Lots of benching and squats. Still debating on upping a few maxes but can't decide if I should run the first block out and see how it goes.
Yeeeeeeaaaaaaa boy
Get it done brother...you'll never regret it
Good luck in the gym today rob. Bring some simple carbs to eat during the workout.
Quick last min change. New maxes being used
Bench 380
Squat 455
DL 550
I don't want to short change myself so I bumped everything up to the actual maxes I got last week.

Don't worry got some pop tarts in the bag. Gotta cookies and cream quest bar too.
Smart move.
Sheiko week 1 day 1
Ok so I've always thought I've worked out hard in the gym and pushed my limits. Well I was wrong. I have things that are sore right now that I didn't know existed and this was probably the easiest day in the whole program. I didn't really understand what @Docd187123 and @brutus79 meant by the mental part but I do now. You literally get to a point in the workout where you are like fuck I'm getting tired then realize you have 3 exercises left and 20 sets. Now I did hit every single rep clean and it took me 1 hour and 25 mins. I was pushing myself to take as little of breaks as possible because I know it's gonna get harder and I'm gonna have to take longer breaks. All in all I had one hell of a fucking workout. Just FYI I rounded everything up on the odd weights. For instance the bench that was 266 I did 270 and the squats that were 318 I did 320.

Good job man. After deadlift day you will know pain... and the importance of rest days. I know what you mean about ALL muscles being sore- they all have to chip in when you struggle.
I couldn't even finish day #2 or the rest of the first two weeks of 29- had to restart, regroup and find a more deliberate approach. Take more rest time. You DO NOT want to mess with your back (no gym = insane) and as hard as it is to go slower it ain't as hard as not going at all.
did I say how awesome this is? I been DYING to see you do this program. GET IT!
Between you and doc you are the ones who talked me into it. Honestly I think this program will do good for my physique as well since there is so much volume. For me that's the best of both worlds. I can't wait to see how things are going at the end of block 31.
Thanks for the extra push in getting me to try something new.
To anyone that thinks they train hard I challenge them to take this program on. Bodybuilder or powerlifter. It will challenge you.
You'll come out of this much stronger mentally as well as physically.
Take as long as you need to rest. You may not need it now but in the next 2-4wks you will need it. Missing reps to cut down on rest times will mess you up later on so just remember getting your reps in is what counts.
I round down if it's 2 or less pounds and round up if 3 or more. Really won't change much but do whichever you prefer. You could even get a set of micro plates and be exacting lol

I had to take a little longer than I wanted on a few sets (squats). I'd rather be there 3hrs than miss a rep. That's one thing I'm not willing to do.
I may round like you said next time. But I'm good with rounding it cheaper lol. I definitely have an understanding of what you guys meant by the mental part. I can't even count how many times I was like fuck I have how much more left. I found that focusing on my set instead the whole routine helped.
