Sets of 8 on squat and 10 on bench just seem a bit weird to me. I understand throwing them in every once in a while, but I wouldn't make it a weekly occurrence, but do whatever floats your boat. It's your training program.

It's light weights just to warm the muscles and work out any soreness. Sort of stole it from Wendler's full body 531 and from Coan's bench.

Have the %'s for intensity? Are you deloading or do you train high volume moderate intensity or what?

Are you familiar with RPE? 10 = no reps left, 9 = 1 left in tank, 8 = 2-3 reps, etc.

This is just a sample of 1 week that I came up with. If I expanded this, the intensities would change and there would be a deload week. I'm also trying to somewhat simulate a meet with the order of exercises on most days.

BTW, not running this program I pulled out of my butt any time soon (running Sheiko May-July)

This. The movie was crappy and was more about a love story than survival. Watching that movie was like watching a retarded version of SERE school. Seriously, when people are hunting you down in the woods, do you run around crying and screaming like a little bitch 24/7? Or when you have an easy shot at your most dangerous opponent with a bow and arrow, do you take it or do you run away like a little bitch? Are you really going to take your time to set up a memorial for your dead friend after you made a bunch of noise, or are you going to get the **** out of that area asap? I was pissed that entire ****ing movie because that dumb bitch did stupid **** non-stop and she still won.

Apparently all of those things are explained in the book

The movie neglected to build the relationship between Rue and Katniss.
In the books, you understand from Katniss that Rue reminds her of her
sister Prim. The memorial was a true moment for Katniss-- a sense of
rebellion against the Capitol. The movie neglected to show you that
after a tribute dies and a cannon sounds, a hovercraft is flown in to
recover the body. The hovercraft will not take the body until you are
gone--Katniss knows this so she quickly makes a memorial. In the
book, Katniss explains that she wants to make it look like Rue is
sleeping in a meadow- hence the flowers. Rue was very special to
Katniss, and the movie didn't do a great jobs with building the
relationship. When a cannon sounds, making it known that a tribute
has died, no one will run to it because they know someone is there and
that a hovercraft is coming in to take the body.

If you read the book, it is about survival for Katniss. She realizes
that in order to get Peeta the medicine and for her to survive the
games, she's supposed to "act" like she loves him. It's for the cameras
and the sponsors to feel sorry for Katniss and Peeta. The movie missed
out on letting the viewers know that Katniss was originally acting to
keep her and Peeta alive--and in the book, when her and Peeta arrive
home and he asks "What's next" she tells actually tells Peeta it was
basically all an act (thinking it was all an act for him too), but in
reality leaving Peeta heartbroken because he really was in love with
her-- although later in the series, it becomes something real. That is
why Haymitch tells Katniss she needs to convince people that she is
really in love with Peeta.

In the end, read the book- it does a better job at getting the message
to the viewer than the movie.

So in conclusion: She was only a loud staying in place moron at times where the book explained she would not be in danger and the love story was just a ruse to win

being a puss and abandoning sheiko at week 3, its going real well for bench and deads but i cant keep up with the squats, not sure I have the conditioning for it or did something else wrong

edit: just changed my mind, i could either stop it now and start something again or have my squat stay the same for a couple weeks but make decent gains on bench and deadlift

What do u mean by conditioning? Are u failing with the weight or getting too beat up?

squatting is always the worst in sheiko...but if you havent failed a rep yet or cut any set short just keep going.

Oh hello, I'm Blaine Sumner and I squat 880 raw

i just need to see his head to know that he's going deep.

[NeverLifted]

getting beat up, feel battered early on in the squat block, and I mean im not used to sets over 3 reps so 5x5 to me is awful

thanks brah im gonna keep doing that, and maybe drop the intensity slightly if i have to make sure i get the volume in atleast

i think partly the reason squatting feels a little strange is cos i based the program off numbers in the gym and my bar weight can be up to 5kg off face value. once I max with my own equipment and use those as the training maxes i think everything will fall into place a little better

the third week is usually the hardest from what ive seen for sheiko. I think u should stick to it and rest longer if u need to.

Strong dude is strong.

Regardless, she was making a **** ton of un-necessary noise the entire time that she was being hunted, and she definitely missed a great opportunity to kill her strongest rival. Stupid movie was stupid.

Oh ok. I know the RPE. I kinda know what you were attempting to do, I sometimes during the day when not lifting plug in some weights on a spreadsheet and look at E1RMS and other such stuff. Would be good if the Excel geeks on the forum could come up with some spreadsheets where you can plug in your workouts and view random stuff.

[simp3204]

I woke up with some serious pain in my left hamstring where the medial hamstring tendons tigh in to the calf. I have no idea why it hurts and did nothing to it yesterday as far as I know. No squatting for me today.

Massage at 4 so I'm hoping it helps.

[darren.dugan]

Week 4 is deload (obviously)

[Torrtrefireto]

Regardless, she was making a **** ton of un-necessary noise the entire time that she was being hunted, and she definitely missed a great opportunity to kill her strongest rival. Stupid movie was stupid.

She responds: Shooting him would have given away her location and she didn't have enough arrows to kill the other 5 people around him

Week 4 is deload (obviously)

Looks awesome!

[darren.dugan]

She responds: Shooting him would have given away her location and she didn't have enough arrows to kill the other 5 people around him

She also acquired a spear (the one that killed the little girl) and threw it away for no good reason. Also, she made no effort to camouflage any of her brightly colored items. And I think there were less than 5 ppl in that group, especially since the watchman got his neck snapped.

Looks awesome!

Want to run it and let me know if it works?

[Liftamulti]

It's a movie, and it's not made to be an extraordinary survival one at that.

Terrible bowling today. I didn't want to try spinning because it was really crowded. I did 110, 99, 116, and 114. Sucks.

[jlockleOSU]

This.

It's hard to make a good ~2.5 hour movie from a 400 page book. Stuff that took like 20 pages to happen in the book happens in 30 seconds in the movie

[darren.dugan]

Regardless, that movie defied common sense repeatedly. So, I deem the movie crappy.

LOTR did it. 3 times.

havent seen the movie but it sounds kinda stupid. what kind of name is katness?

I'd think about it if I had unlimited time to train (as in, I could pause time for 3 weeks). Girlfriend ranted on about that post too but not gonna relay it. She agrees that the movie didn't illustrate her survival skills as well as the book

LOTR did it. 3 times.

LOTR was aimed at adults not twilight fans, also, tons of people hhhhhaaaaaattttteeeeddddd LOTR when compared to the books

havent seen the movie but it sounds kinda stupid. what kind of name is katness?

Katniss. I read the first 2 chapters of the 1st book to fall asleep, its written for 12-15 year olds.
