I struggle staying out of the gym so much. I've been pacing my house all damn night. I can handle one night maybe two nights if I have plans or something but this 4 nights a week is insane.

There are ways to get a workout in without actually going to the gym. If you follow my drift. I like to do lots of that lol. Sure, its morstly cardio, but theres ways to make it more of a "workout". Get creative.
Alright no gym today or tonight but my SBD order came in. Singlet and knee wraps 2.5 are in. All that's left now is to get focused and start thinking about september
Today was a WO day finally. It's was short and quick but everything felt really good. I got a couple of videos on deadlifts. They are really light but I'm trying to keep my back more vertical. First 2 is 365 the second one is 405.
A little gear update. Only thing that's missing is my inzer 10mm forever belt. Should be here in the next week or 2. Looking forward to getting it and breaking it in
Well fellas. 16 weeks of Sheiko is completed. One more small WO on Wednesday then mock meet Sunday everything felt on point. Pretty sure I could have thrown 285 straight up in the air. Only needed 30-35 second breaks for squats. Was done in well under a hour

What will your attempts be on Sunday?
@Perrin Aybara
I actually have no clue. I'm think something like:
Squat 475/495/525?
Bench 365/385/405
Pull 545/585/600
My last attempts will be really iffy. The second attempt will be iffy on pulls

Well after 16 weeks of PLing weight has been relatively the same. Weighed in at 206 night weight tonight and 202 first thing this morning.

You can't go wrong with something you think you can hit for a triple for an opener, a double for number two and based on how that feels go for your PR on the third attempt.
I'm not really sure where you're at though as Sheiko doesn't have AMRAPs to figure out where your max is. Based on how your 495 squat went I'd say that at least looks about right for your attempts.

I'm comfortable with my bench and squat. Deadlifts are what I'm concerned with the most. 585 would be a PR

All of your veins have their own veins. Good luck at your mock meet...and Im digging all the new gear.

Hitting the 6/5/4 plates milestone will be a huge accomplishment in itself anyway.
Tonight's gym consisted of 20mins slow treadmill. A lot of stretching. Morning weight 202 night weight 205.
Openers should be something you could double or triple any day of the week.
If those go smooth then add ~40lbs for squats and pulls and ~20lbs for bench. If those go well add the same weight again or just go for broke and try what you think you can get. Always though base the jumps around how your attempt prior went.
Well in that case maybe I'll do this:
Squat 455/495/525-545
Bench 365/385/395-405
Deadlift 495/545/565-585
I don't have a ton a confidence in my pull. I know I'll get 545 but anything after that is always up in the air
Looks better. This will also help save more energy for the latter attempts.
So is the idea on warm ups to do as little as your comfortable with in order to do the 3 attempts without tearing something ?
Looks like sheiko went great for you Rob, looking forward to your results from your mock meet sunday. I think you might surprise yourself and exceed the numbers that your planning.
Good luck!!
Good luck!!

The first attempt is to get a guaranteed number on the board and to build confidence for your other attempts. It should be easy, something you can hit for three anytime. Crushing it in front of the audience will build confidence. Also nailing the first attempt keeps you from getting disqualified for missing all three attempts on one lift. I've seen people miss all three squats and benches and that's it for them for the day.
The second should also be guaranteed in my opinion. Something you can hit for a double. This gets you better numbers on the board and also gives you an idea of what your third attempt should be. Crushing this will also build momentum for your third.
Your third is where you go all out. How heavy depends on what numbers you're going for and what you think you can get. If a few pounds meant the difference between hitting your goal (say 1500), but you might miss and get less I'd play safe. If you're after a record or beating another lifter you may want to go all out.
Also, you don't want to make huge jumps so you aren't shocked by how heavy something is. If I was going for 500, I'd do 450, 475, 500.
