    Sheiko

    37 kind of starts off easy. It's not uncommon (or it wasnt for me) to feel unrecovered between some sessions of Sheiko. Especially Wednesdays I often felt dead from Monday, but after a light Friday and a good weekend's rest I was 95%+ for Monday (not always). I did a lot of walking...

    Jihadist Khaled Sharroufs son holds severed head

    I am not terribly educated about Muslims and their affairs but why aren't they distancing themselves from these idiots? The same way Christians distance themselves from those in the USA's south who believe in hanging gays, etc. They get labelled "bigots" "fundamentalist idiots", etc. Seems...

    The PB Thread

    Thanks Taurus, might have to give you guys a run for your money on the 1 hand chin contest. I reckon I could handle 40kg if I dont pull the skin off my arm :P

    Sheiko

    Given you did well on Smolov, which is high frequency, you might do well on Sheiko too? It's a good experiment. Although I heard somewhere frequency contributes to injury - may have been brosciencelife, I cant back that up with a study :P

    Phil and Kai Comparisons

    Looking at them there Phil looks better to me, and probably does to anyone who doesn't look at them in super detail. Similar to Arnie in 1980 or whatever, he just has a good frame. Hopefully he makes it to 40.

    The PB Thread

    ^^ I find when I go for squat PB's it's always 10kg minimum PB. Bench I'm happy with 2.5-5 lol.. Speaking of... I got 135kg paused pretty cleanly on bench today, for a PB. Unracked with arse up but it was down for the lift. 135x1 - YouTube Tried 140kg for shits and giggles and got it touch and...

    Sheiko

    Well I dont know anymore. Just got training ADD and tried 135 again, got it cleanly with a good pause. Also got 140kg touch and go for an equal PB, but without Smolov. I think it might have been my technique, I put my feet up on the bench to develop an arch, then rested my butt down after...

    Off-topic-but-still-related-to-PL-thread

    I noticed today doing 150kg sets on deads (fairly heavy for me) that my left arm was bending. I was doing double overhand grip and sort of ripping the weight up. Is this a good way to tear a bicep and should I try to keep straight arms?

    Bulk Nutrients has slow postage.

    Bulk Nutrients took 5 days to post my stuff like they said on their website and I nearly starved to death. Better make a thread.

    Sheiko

    Thanks! I'll give it a go, that might explain things. I'm actually really busy with life stuff, for the first time in 2-3 years I might ease off lifting in general though. Will see...

    Sheiko

    I did 31 after 37. Perhaps it was my increased max used for calcs. But I feel like I recover quickly from bench, and I atrophy quickly too - over 1 week deloads never made sense for me for upper body. I did my own program for the other lifts, just 5x5 on the weekends really. By contrast I feel I...

    The PB Thread

    Thanks JZ, I've actually seen that before, it's been an obsession of mine and I think I've read most of the guides out there! I've noticed a few guys who can do them can belt out 25-30 good chin ups (dead hang). My best is 15 from dead hang at about 110kg, so I think I need to work on that...

    Sheiko

    Hmm I got a near 5kg PB on my bench week 2 of Sheiko 32, but just failed the same weight week 4. The 2 week deload felt too long and I thought I lost strength / adaption from not benching over it. I think 37/32/mini deload worked well though.

    Bench assistance

    I think the number one thing that would help my bench is being strict about my diet and maintaining a small caloric excess. This is always the hardest for me, when I bulk I tend to put on weight too fast. If I could get regular lipos and eat like a pig I reckon I could hit 160kg in no time :P...

    The PB Thread

    I really wanted to do a 1 hand chin but it's insane. I don't know whether to just give up trying cause it's like setting a "One day I will bench 250kg" type goal or to keep training for it. I'm around 86kg (whoops, edit) LBM according to a recent dexa, 107kg at the moment.

    Sheiko

    Yeah, I thought the week before was a pretty big deload as well though. Not sure I need 2 weeks... will see.

    Final week of Sheiko 32 feels like I did nothing in the gym.

    Bodybuilder destroyed by steroids and HGH

    I've lurked around these forums for a couple of years now and Genics and 1 or 2 others are the only users to be even slightly honest about roids having negative effects. It's ridiculous. I started a thread on another forum asking about sides and the most popular answers were along the lines of...

    Pavel's Ladder for Pullups

    I have wondered about this method. I might give it a try soon too. PB is 20 at 98kg, 15 at 108kg, 165kg total weight chin up.... Bit far off that now though.

    Bodybuilder destroyed by steroids and HGH

    Yep pretty funny lol couldn't be the bodybuilding supplements / growth hormones. Didn't you know party drugs cause weird brain problems similar to Parkinsons?
