Sheiko

You were saying yesterday that the "assistance" in sheiko is merely to stretch out the muscles from the volume of the lifts. I'm assuming these should not be made to be progressive?
 
Alright to everyone saying it looks easy go and run it. Wk1 day1 #37 & I am fucked, yes the weights are lowish but that is a shitload of sets.

Suprised at how taxing the squats were.

Also spritcha thanks for the advice you are a gentleman. We are lucky to have lifters like yourself and the other gun pl's giving out advice so freely.

There's a difference between not progressing, and detracting from the main lifts

Exercises like flys, good mornings etc are done light to stretch things out, get the blood flowing and generally improve conditioning- not heavy.
 
How do you accommodate sickness or other unplanned session missage?

Do you have to re-do that session? or do you just write it off and move on?

Am contemplating running 29-37-32 before a comp, but there are pretty much 0 days of contingency in that schedule
 
1. Arrange your entire lifestyle around training
2. Accept that a shitty or missed training session means fuck all in the grand scheme of things
 
There is always a way to adjust. The weeks progress and build in each other. It depends how sick you get or how much you miss.
 
Spritcha it seems startling to me you can get stronger doing such low percentages. For you, with a 300kg+ squat, that would mean you're squatting close to 200kg for low reps? Doesn't a program have to be difficult to elicit results? How is Sheiko difficult? Just so easy looking on paper (for me, for bench)

Also, can you run it for 1 lift only - my bench is ok but my squat is lagging a lot due to an injury (and I gotta be careful)

Try running it, it's not easy despite what everyone keeps saying in this thread.

I was fucked yesterday after 8 sets of squats & 17 sets of bench in the one session. Yes the weight % are lowish (60-70% range) but there is bulk work in there.
 
How long have people found their training sessions have become?
I'm reading 2 hours around the web.
