Sheiko strikes again

Back day.

Straight up spent. JM knows his shit. I look back at my workouts and how I just bounced around after my arm healed. I put a lot of effort in, and it wasn't for nothing, but this is program is working me over like I'm a child. It's refreshing.

5th day in a row at the gym, putting real effort in. I'm in rare form right now. Work is still crushing me, the house stuff is a MAJOR stress factor and it seems like everything else in life that can test me and is doing just that. The gym is basically the only thing keeping me sane right now. Thank God I'm not injured.

Man, that program looks awesome. Especially all the back work. When working a particular muscle group, back is my front thing to do. Love that pump. Quads..... ehh, not so much. He is definitely a smart man.

I'm right there with you on stress though brother. For whatever reason I've been stressed hard this week. In a few weeks I'm moving 2,000 miles away from where I've lived my whole life expect for a 4 month stint I lived in NYC when I was a teenager. I haven't been worried about at all for some months now, but suddenly it hit me hard this week.(mostly people bothering/asking me about it this week)

It's a beast of a program so far. I'm expecting it to ramp up as the weeks go on. So far so good!

Stress is a mother fucker. I can't sleep worth a damn. Going to sound like a chick for saying this but my skin gets all fucked up when stressed. I get edgy/aggressive too. Probably not a good thing lol. I have a ribbon cutting today at a D2 athletics stadium, big fan fare and all that. Big LAX game scheduled and a larger D1 college is coming up to look at everything because they are getting into a new stadium in a couple years. I have to deal with that today and for some reason it's killing me mentally.

The underlying problem is the housing. That is soooooo stressful to me and it's something you do with your significant other. I hate being that stressed when I have to do stuff with her. Basically i get really quite and hard to read. People think i get mad and angry when I'm like that when really im jusy stressed out.

2000 miles? That's a fair distance dude. I know where you live so all I can think is your climate must be getting warmer and sunnier! That's a good thing, I hope :)

You always hear moving is the most stressful thing... I've never experienced it until now. And I'm still 6 weeks out! Lol

Yes sir! Much warmer and sunnier!

It's exactly 2,084 miles door to door. But, we are making a trip of it and taking a longer route. Visiting a couple larger cities along the way and have found a couple cool gyms to lift at along the way. Roughly 2,400 miles over a week.

Congrats man. I hope the move goes well. Sounds like you have a life experience headed your way. Enjoy it man :)

A little less stress today. Stadiums open for business. All's well in A/V land. 20180224_101948.jpg
 
Still chugging along with Sentinel. I'm finding the lower body days make me regret being alive and the upper body days aren't that bad. My upper body capacity and development is leaps and bounds better than my lower half. Gotta get some nasty wheels!

Something cool to note...

You guys obviously known that I'm a professional av dude. Woke up to governor Baker giving warnings about the incomming noreaster on TV. Notice something familiar when you look at these two pics? One is a work portfolio pic, the other is obviously a pic from the TV. Love seeing my work on tv!

Anyone try Project Momentum, specifically the 2016 version? Sheiko was burying me before TRT, but now that I'm about to blast on top of starting TRT I think I could do a really high volume program. It's somewhat similar to Sheiko programming but with some higher intensity singles added as well.

No offense but your post is better served in a different thread. Welcome to Meso.
 
Ditched the JM routine after 2 weeks. I was missing a lot of it. My life is just to busy atm. Started a juggernaut system today thanks to a solid due floating around here somewhere. It's 4 days weekly so I have a better shot at getting all the workouts in.

I hear that my man. i dont know if i would be able to do a 6-7day split with the way life is for me right now either.

Glad you choose Juggernaut. I think its a solid program. I showed it to a buddy of mine who ran it leading into a meet, with some tweaks to allow for peaking. He PR'd every lift. Will probably be a smooth transition from JM to Jugg for you!

Random accessory stuff. Right knee was feeling a bit off, didn't push it. TFL is tight as well, but it was great after the last JM leg day...

Also, almost cut part of my fingertip off. Think I'm going to loose about half a finger print. Kinda cool.

I just looked up this juggernaut system. Sounds very interesting and I might switch. I don’t like lifting 5X a week. I’ve only been able to get my 5X in like 50% of the time. 4x lifting a week is way easier for me and I just did a year of 5-3-1 which I loved so I’m used to the 4 lifts they talk about.
 
I didn't read the entire thread: But this last page holy volume man.

Things for me to add if they haven't been added. Thick bands in the squat rack, the ones that are rated at 50-60 lbs stretched make a squat crazy hard(120 LBS at the top), especially at the top. These can be fashioned for bench and dead lift as well. BETTER than chains IMPO....

I respond strength wise very well to LOW volume but high in the percentage of my 1rm..anywhere from 1-5 reps for 3-6 sets.

Then train high volume low rest on all auxiliaries.

The one and only time I'll show you guys my street sign! Around a foot of snow, which isn't even a lot of snow. heavy as fuck though. Trees down everywhere, driveway is blocked by power lines, street is blocked by a tree. Got interviewed by the news, they were on my street because it was so bad locally.

Funny how something so bad can be so beautiful7165.jpeg
