    Sheiko

    Thanks for the advice. I am doing the amended over 80kg program. I might switch to dumbell bench then with 40s or something. From memory 40s are light, 50s are heavy for me. Might even use 35s. What I meant with squats was they felt like they were going to take ages. The program goes Bench...

    Sheiko

    I just did my first Sheiko workout, it wasn't too long. Set my bench max at 140 (best recent is 135tng or 120x4) and tried to race through all the sets with 60 second breaks, ended up missing 1 rep. Where it says "Chest - 4x6" is that supposed to be heavy? I did fairly heavy dumbell flyes with...

    The PB Thread

    Well done Dicko. I've had weird days when warmups felt heavy, I went for it anyway and got a pb.

    Sheiko

    I'm thinking about running Sheiko, and have some questions. 37 looks like a good routine for me for bench only, the weights look ok if I up my max to 140 (gym best is 130 paused, 135kg tng a week or two ago, 140kg a while ago after Smolov). At 105kg bodyweight I'm guessing a CMS or Sheiko bench...

    The truth about your painkillers: Is Panadol Rapid actually rapid?

    Ive never had panadol help much for anything. It seems very mild. Codeine based stuff (panadeine extra, mercyndol) have helped me with bad colds and other things. Pity you can't take that many over X hours.

    Bodyfat and performance

    ^^ Everyone is different. I look like that at 10% or less. Definitely not 13%. This is good info. I'm trying to drop weight slowly now and I seem to be maintaining most of my strength (pressed 80x3 yesterday, pressed 80x3 about a month ago .... but I had a little more left in the tank then)...

    Misc Steroid Thread

    Just out of interest, what are your guys best lifts? Who are offering advice/arguments/insults. Spartacus posted his. Rep maxes are fine if you don't test 1rms often. Mine... 140kg touch and go bench, 90kg strict press, 170kg total weight chin up. Pitiful leg weights though (200kg dead, 120kg...

    Full body

    Spartacus have you had good success with full body routines at all? I might try some of the ones in here, as I said earlier, but the volume does seem lowish. @El Freako ; what's your opinion on full body stuff like this? Like stuff in OP, not sheiko. I think I'd probably be better off just...

    IPF World Raw Powerlifting Championships, Africa.

    Allright I realise this may start a shitstorm but.... Is it likely top athletes in the IPF like Carl Ynvar Christensen (who looks like Krang) are natural?

    Yeah I was just kidding.

    Full body

    I'm keen to try some of the OP routines sometime this year. 5x7 bench 3 times a week, from say 70% (mon) to 80% (fri) would be pretty fun. I dont think Id recover completely mon-fri and I'd need lots of active recovery on the weekend. Could also do say chins 5x5 mon/wed rows 5x5 fri...

    Anyone ever had trouble overhead pressing and staying stable? Might be my shitty core / lack of lower body stuff screwing me over. Im really tall which doesnt help. Noticed it today doing sets of 70kg.

    Middle Age Men Using Testosterone Care About Quality Of Life Not Cheating

    aljada what is your opinion on a level of test of 17nmol, tested in the morning (7am). I understand test goes up and down like a sine wave during the day - and so this low should mean nothing, it could have been 25 a few hours later......... but wouldn't the morning always be high?

    The PB Thread

    I tried a 12 week PTC routine for bench maybe give one of those a go? See if sticky/tombro will write you one for $$$. I did 'digit'. Brutal but I paused 130, tng'd 135 and pressed 90 which seems to me a new base level of strength (smolov was temporary). It was fucking hard but maybe thats what...

    The PB Thread

    Nice work Dicko, good job on the deadlift too. I tried deads last night in the gym. Got to 4th set and had to abort due to blood...... Mental note- bring long socks.
