Demon Embraces the Inner Monster - Path to MASSiveness in 2014

[domingochavez]

Did you deload before starting Sheiko big fella? I jumped straight from one 10 week cube cycle to the next without properly deloading and had the same issues, required a further 5 days off to readjust and get ready for another 10 week block of heavy duty training!

[demonwareltd]

Prob a reason why your tired is the lack of sleep. Hopefully you can get that figured out and get back on track brother.

No doubt. Trying to get some work done this morning and then likely swinging by urgent care for some answers

Kind of. I mean I didn't work out sat or Sunday the weekend of show and the several days before that were simple pump workouts, no heavy lifts. Sheiko is demanding to be sure and you adjust to the high volume. I feel I am recovering great from the workouts. After the first week I have next to no DOMS or other soreness at all.

do you use an inzer belt?
I know the first few times i used mine it was too tight and caused my ribs to be a bit damaged because when you got too low before breaking it in it really grasped around them very tight and caused a LOT of pain.

No I use Cardillo and have had it for 2.5 years now. I also don't wear it very tight. That is something to consider though as I have been purposely squatting deeper which may be cause the belt to dig into my abdomen right below the ribs. Will have to pay closer attention next workout.

My belt fuarked up my ribs. Need to be careful, especially when you're leaner! No cushion

Yeah - it's not ribs at all. It is below them in upper abdomen, consistent with location of your gall bladder

[NaturalPursuit]

I honestly could never get comfortable with a belt...I always felt it limited my natural movement flow Hows Sheiko going for ya?!

[IK9]

I wanna try out one of those legit powerlifting belts.. I have one of the flimsy ones.. I'm not sure if it makes a huge difference.. I know Berto uses a flimsy one too.. soo.. who knows? lol

Hows the training, eating, and life? ?

Hows the training, eating, and life? ?

Life has been good. Enjoyed the long holiday weekend with the family and back to the grind tomorrow

I have actually been out of the gym for 9 days now, a purposeful break from the weights. Was just not feeling the motivation in the gym and it's the first time I took a week over in over 2 years. Felt nice to not have to hit a 2 hr gym session after work and instead just play with my son.

Back at it tomorrow though and looking forward to it. Picking back up with the 4th and final week of Sheiko 29. I have a feeling the weights will feel heavy and DOMs will be out of this world!

[Blazed]

Nice man, I am going to attempt Sheiko 29 right after I get back from Florida. PUMPED!

Attempt?! You mean DESTROY!!!

[NaturalPursuit]

Been growing for 9 days...big gains comin up

[jpfaherty]

29 is easy, cmon guys! Attempt"!?!? LOL - You'll crush it Paul.

The break must have been really nice huh Stan? Especially with this holiday weekend to cap it off? Glad you're enjoying the offseason and getting that family time in!

[Big_Spaz]

Nothing wrong with a week off ... I took my first week off in over a year about 7 weeks ago and have been doing nothing but absolutely KILLING it ever since. Sometimes that mental (along with the physical) break is all you really need.

Good luck today Stan and hit the gym hard.

Thanks Spaz - looking forward to getting it in after work, even though I know it will be hot as balls in there with the weather we're having!

It definitely will be Stan. I hit that place at 5 AM this morning and when I first started it wasn't bad at all, but by the time I left (6:30 AM) you could already feel the place starting to heat up. So that along with all the weekend warriors and the vacationers coming back after a holiday weekend (and being a Monday) good luck ...

Your body probably needed the break. Fueled and ready to battle Sheiko once again...

[IK9]

welcome back

[offroadatv200]

a 9 day break sounds glorious, especially the time with your son! The time off will play dividends when you get back in there.

pretty awesome interview

[demonwareltd]

It's been a couple of weeks of drifting aimlessly through life. Getting back to logging this week and starting up Sheiko 29 again today with my new maxes. Will post details about it later and will catch up on everyone's progress.

Catch u all soon!

[Vytis]

Good to see you back in the game.

[IK9]

welcome back!

[demonwareltd]

Sorry for the long absence - this week is my 2nd week back in the gym after an almost 4 week absence. Still grinding to sell our house which is incredibly tiresome and sucky.

Plan to get back to being active on the boards at least every other day. Should have some time later tonight to swing by everyone's logs and say hello

Take care...

[HARRYBEAST]

good to hear from you man

Having just done the house sell and buy thing I feel for ya

Thanks Harry - it's a process, I'll give you that. Been going on since the beginning of June and lowered our asking price 3 times now. Fingers crossed that the showing later today is the one that pans out. Going on all in with putting all but the bare essentials into a storage unit and cleaning the **** out of this place

Congrats on the new home purchase

[Vytis]

Hey, I know you. All the best with the sale.
