Hell, probably yesterday. Found out a family member died. 10 minutes later in the garage testing my maxes. Didn't feel like lifting, almost quit during the warm-ups, ended up hitting PRs in two of...

Wow, I really appreciate you taking the time to write that out Jesse. So let me make sure I’m getting this- Essentially on Monday you work a variation of the squat, one week it is five reps and...

I have been following you for as long as I can remember, congrats on the total and for putting up insane numbers for so many years. I've never been able to find a ton of your training, I've seen you...

I squat low bar and very wide and prefer the raised heel hands-down. Going so wide, I always had trouble hitting depth, the raised heel helped with this. I have a pair of VS Dynamos with 1.3" heel...

Each line for the squat and deadlift tab represents two weeks (workouts 1-6). Whereas bench is listed as each individual session separately. So the second tab is 12 workouts, 3x a week, that's four...

Here is the spreadsheet, notice the different tabs at the bottom, the first for squat/deadlift, the second and third for bench. I believe the explanation sheet will explain how to run the program,...

I'm not sure I'd call him similar to Sheiko, but Surovetsky is out of Russia and somewhat popular. His program is interesting, you squat and deadlift near max every other week and do light and...

I'll acknowledge it, I have seen it. I had it on my Netflix queue for months and when it was finally released, it was promptly sent to me. If you are watching it for powerlifting satisfaction,...

Breathinglife's suggestion is good, it is on the list of developmental exercises from Sheiko's book. However, according to Wade Hooper, Sheiko himself told him that deadlifts to the knees were meant...

If I get a 5 pound PR from an 8 week cycle, I'm pretty pleased. 10 pound PR will have me pee my pants with joy.

Going back to 1989.... My advice to me.... Don't train muscle groups like a bodybuilder. Going to failure every set is actually not a good idea. Buy all the cans of the original Hot Stuff that...

squat 420x3
bench 305x3
deadlift 505x3

I've never been good at reps, my one rep maxes are better.

Does Lou make his feelings known about geared vs. raw? Sure he does. It's obvious he isn't an advocate of competing raw and that's what I expected from him. Is the book worthless for the raw...

Some of these are in your document and should help you. They came from a guy that speaks Russian and helped decipher for us on another forum.

A press laying = Bench
Knee-bends = Squat

Looks just like Dave Bates' 13 week program which is extremely close to 29/37/32.

Sheiko's volume is already high, those off days are needed for rest. Think about this, Sheiko recommends you use 40% of your squat max as weight for your good mornings, not a huge amount of weight...

You are spot-on my friend... you know what you're talking about. It's true that you actually are in a state, or near a state, of over-training, so 32 is when the over-recovery happens. And I agree,...

As mentioned is a comp cycle, but in my opinion even if you don't have a competition coming up, it is important to remember that after accumulating a high amount of fatigue though the prep cycles, a...

I agree with this. I typically wouldn't recommend starting at CMS/MS, but with a lifter used to higher volume and frequency, they can likely handle it, especially if they are paying attention to...

Great job! Very impressive on all events, especially the deadlift and log press. Solid performance, congratulations!
