Sheiko strikes again

Woke up today feeling like Tony the tiger. Work was slow but it's over for the 4th. And the gym. Oh the gym. It was impressive man. I look at this workout on paper and I swear to Christ I feel like it should be a breeze. It's not. It's a grind, takes most of what I have in the tank at the end of each bodypart. And I am loving it! I hit a hard plateau recently and this is going to push me through it. I forgot how it felt to annihilate a body part lol.

Workout spreadsheet to follow :)
 
Saturday was a bust. I was very dehydrated and wasn't anywhere near fit to put work in at the gym.

I relaxed as best I could and rehydrated. Woke up today and got sucked into that Odie stuff, wow.

Moving right along...

I didn't want to finish my first week of Shieko skipping a workout so I went this morning.
Good workout, def got my ass kicked by the end of it. It was kind of cool going on a Sunday morning. I feel like I horrified about 15 senior citizens. A group literally moved away after I kept pushing 45s on the bar for DL. Got a good chuckle out of it.

Workout posted below as well as as two starting pics. I figure I'm gonna get thicker from doing this? Felt good but tough. My last two DL sets were very tough with the double pause. The seated rows were a total effort in form. That's really light for rows! The leg presses were an effort in form as well. Very light but I could feel it in my lower back. Gotta love DL.

You've already got some size it looks like. I'd expect more upper back, lat, upper leg, triceps and delt thickness from regularly hitting the big three lifts. Everyone is different, but that's been my experience doing strictly PL for awhile now.

Ill agree with PA. Pretty much everything got "thicker" except my bi's. And you can fix that depending on what you do for lats. I did a lot of pulldowns because i was tired by that point. If you do pull ups, chin ups, or BBRs itll help that part keep up.

Yeah, I generally do chin ups rather than most other lat exercises. Works well and hits the biceps a little. I haven't done an arm day in years and often go weeks or months without any direct arm work at all and my arms are still 17" cold. Nothing special by any means, but it seems like people think their arms will shrink up running a PL program and I don't think that's the case for most of us. Bench, close grip bench, chin ups and weighted chin ups go a long way towards putting muscle on the arms in my opinion.

My gym was closed on Monday so I went first thing today. I had very limited time, or so I thought. I got to the office and what do you know? Only work trucks, no employees. My work gave us two days off!

Dude, I love the place I work, sometimes! So, I am going to get a few hours of OT in and get home and finish my workout. Light stuff but I want to keep up with the plan as best I can.

All in all I feel like I am starting to fall into the workout plan and how it's structured well. My arms are the only real part that I have any real soreness. My confidence under the weight is getting better.

I have a slingshot, belt and voodoo floss coming. The floss intrigued me. I will be using it on my right knee during DL for now. I need a mental 'safety blanket' for that. I don't have any issue at this point with me knee but it always in my mind...
 
Double bench day. Can you say tender elbows? I feel like I just started lifting. Madonna had a song about something like this. I think it's titled like a virgin...
 
On today's workout I have squats, go figure lol. The last set has me left with a question. What is going on? Is that 6 sets, all different reps? Just want to hit this the right way. Thx guysScreenshot_2016-07-08-13-50-35.png

I hit a serious wall today. My grip gave out with 3 sets of DL left. I had to use straps. It was very heavy pulling for the last few as well. The reps were fluid and steady, just heavy.

I missed documenting incline bench. I goofed and did 3 sets at 5 reps, dyslexic lol. I also used db because the incline area was full of slow ass old people. 50/75/100 respectively.

My lower back is tender. Hoping that goes away...

Week 2 in the books : )
