Boom! Week 2 done, and feeling great still. I feel like most of my maxes are pretty low. I actually hit 325 for 6 on the last set of squats, and 285 for 8 on the second round. My bench is slowly feeling stronger as well, and I'm confident I will be able to get to 300lbs by July. GPP tomorrow.

Had to bust this workout out early this morning. Tried out banded good mornings for the first time, and I am definitely going to be keeping the in the rotation for awhile and see if it helps with my hip extension. I also am doing Carb Nite for the next few weeks to clear out some fluff and then be able to eat into the meet come July.

Fun stuff, havn't done power cleans in a long time, but they felt pretty solid. Back to low carb today, went ape-sh*t last night: a box of cookies, 5 slices of pizza, and half a carrot cake..lulz. A couple more weeks of Carb Nite and then on to Carb Backloading. Sheiko 37 begins Monday!

First day of 37 felt solid. Squats are getting stronger by the week, and bench press is improving nicely as well. I upped my maxes to; 425/290/485. I set my deadlift a tad high, but it seems that people that are a little more familiar with Sheiko set it higher to get a bit more out of it. Taking tomorrow completely off and doing some much needed SMR and mobility.

I wasn't fully recovered going into today session, but still hit my numbers and actually bumped my deadlift up 20lbs. Need to focus on recovery a little more, I have been slacking with the SMR and mobility work on my off days. Carb backloading tonight, dat Ben&Jerrys

Bench press felt solid today, a little easy actually. I am going to give the numbers I set for another week and then maybe move up my bench press max to keep the train moving. Squats were a bit sticky at first, my hips were feeling a little beat up. Going to do some dynamic deads tomorrow with some bodybuilding fluff work.

Wasn't feeling great this morning going into my workout. I drank a bit too much yesterday, and as a result got crappy sleep. I will be dialing everything in with my nutrition and recovery in these next couple month leading into my next meet. i plan on killing it on July 28th! SMR and mobility tomorrow.

Felt great today after really taking the time to foam roll, mobility work, and good nutrition yesterday. I went much heavier than I was supposed to on my deads today, 415 for 3 felt pretty damn easy, I am resetting my bench and deadlift for the next two weeks of 37. I am also adding in strongman work on Saturdays, there is a contest in July that looks interesting and the weights look doable. SMR mobility tomorrow.

I felt great going into this workout, squats felt solid and so did the bench press. We have been substituting squats if there is a 2nd round for oly, front, or rack squats to give our hips a little break... seems to be workout out well so far. Lots of mobility work tomorrow.
