I go to the xsport off of dundee

Arlington Heights, just east of 53 here

I'm in Arlington Heights. Where do you train?

Hard to say right now as I am on 31 which begins to increase the intensity and decrease the volume in preparation for peaking in 32. I would estimate, and this is really an estimate, that I am up...

I am now on my 6 month of working through the Sheiko routines. I would recommend 29-32 which is 16 weeks of programming. The tendency that I have seen and read, which is not unique to this style, is...

Looking for what you throw in the MP3player to get you going for a PR. My votes are:
Busta Rhymes
Flo Rida
T.I.
Eminem

Songs:
You don't know - Eminem
Hurt - T.I.
I'm So Hood -DJ Khaled

Start with the 29, the volume on sheiko takes time to get used to. The 4day week programs are for lifters with pretty high totals who are used to russian style training.

My two cents:

DL: Good leg drive, but yoru back is not arched and rounds quite a bit. I have found that it usually is a flexibulity issue which is easy enough to solve

GM: While some flexing at...

Yeah stop posting here everyday with the same 'What program should I do for the next month to bring up my <insert powerlift> here until I do Smolov'. Dude stop posting and get in the gym and see what...

Just moved to Northwest Arkansas and was wondering if there are any powerlifters in the area?

I dont think I was clear in my previous post. What I meant was that for a period of a week or two before you re-test your maxes, you ramp down the volume and ramp up the intensity. For instance, your...

I have been doing Sheiko for the last couple of months and I can give you my two cents worth fwiw.

I didn't re-test my maxes in between 29 and 37, but the weights were feeling too low so I bumped...

I wouldn't mind testing it out. I am currently doing a sheiko style routine, specifically #37 after having completed #29. I will be restarting with 29 and then 30 after the New Year and given the...

I just completed the base and will be doing the intense starting today. I have done 5 x 5 a number of times and that really prepared me well for Smolov. I went from a tough 325 max to an easy 355...

If you are "falling forward" it indicates that you have a weak lower back. The good thing is that this is easily correctable with GMs, Reverse Hypers, and other lower back work.

At 5-9 130, I would recommend you focus on your diet rather than a specific program. You need to gain some seirous weight at that height. In the meantime, there are a plethora of routines you could...

Has anyone on here ever tried a Sheiko-type routine? I am in the midst of trying this as I have found much better success with high volume routines (i.e. 5x5, 3x3) than I have with WSB. I was just...

Here is a little more info: http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/drsquat11.htm which discusses assistance. I just dont understand the overload piece.

I was wondering if anyone on here had tried Dr. Squat's 80 day routine: http://www.joeskopec.com/Hatfield.xls . If so, what did you think? Second, I am curious how the overload sets work. Any help is...

I work out at Rock Hard and the hours are restrictive (4-10 weekdays, 9-6 on weekends). However, the gym is definitely PL friendly and hardcore. In the past 9 months I have talked the owner into...
