Oh hai everyone, sorry I've been away so long. Hoping to get back to it all this week. I've been so run down and sick lately, I've still got a smokers cough somewhat from this horrid illness. Good news is I'm finally being referred to the specialist of my choice for my thyroid so maybe I'll get somewhere soon and be able to have the body I want.

I was weighing in high 140's last week. Probably stress and illness related. Was away with work last week and ate either not a lot or totaly crap. I haven't gymmed since April and I know Monday is going to hurt. A lot. I need to start the Sheiko comp plan which is 5 weeks worth.I'm not sure how it's going to go having had so long off now, pretty much 5 weeks off. I'm slightly gutted. I'm really not sure how to play it and I'm open to ANY advice. Please!

Welcome back!

Are you deadset on doing shieko? Something a little more flexible for the first few weeks might be easier. Get some muscle memory working before you jump into a strict program.

ITA. Going from zero to sheiko might be a bit rough. Glad you are back!

glad you're feeling somewhat better. maybe a test session is in order to see where you are at and give you an idea of what to set your maxes at for the next cycle? i agree with tina, i think jumping into sheiko with your old maxes while deconditioned might not go well.

Agreed Sheiko not best idea.... Need to have a think about this today.

do you think something just linear and basic could serve you for a little while till you get back up to speed?
