    Talking Martin's odyssey to become not as weak.

    Started lifting back in March 2010...entered a full meet in April 2010(yes, 1 month of lifting), I can still remember how sh*t i did

    bw: 170 sth
    Squat 242lbs good
    264lbs good
    286lbs good
    Bench 176lbs no lift(didnt wait for the start call)
    198lbs no lift
    198lbs no lift

    so yea i bombed in the bench. looking back i cant believe how weak i was and i still have no idea why i even entered a ****ing powerlifting meet.

    after 8 months these are my maxes now
    Squat 352lbs
    Bench 253lbs
    Deadlift 385lbs

    and i still cant believe how weak i am.
    so.
    its time to get stronger.

    doing stopped reps for the deadlift was easier than doing touch and go because the bar we have at the gym has almost no knurling at all and i got to set up again in a set doing stopped reps.

    back and legs are still sore from the last deadlift workout, so i went easy on the accessory work.

    my right upper back felt really painful when i was squatting especially at the top of the lift but it felt fine when i was deadlifting. hopefully its just a slight strain...

    Deadlift
    187x3
    220x2x3
    264x2x3
    280.5x4x3

    Incline Bench
    4 sets of 6

    Dips
    5 sets of 5

    Rack Pulls (bar set under knees)
    203.5x4
    242x4
    280.5x2x4

    First day of Sheiko #29 felt really great. The most challenging part id say was the top sets of the rack pulls. Its not my back or legs that gave away but my grip. I also really loved the increased volume.

    Squat
    176x5
    209x2x4
    242x2x3
    264x5x3

    Back extensions
    5 sets of 8 with 50lbs dumbbell

    the calculated numbers for my bench are based on the 1RM of 264lbs. but it felt really easy hitting the numbers today and it was no difference than a speed day. after looking through the cycle i decided to bump up my 1RM to 275lbs and re-calculate the numbers in the rest of the cycle.

    my squat actually felt really easy too but im not gonna bump up the 1RM because of my injured upper back. everything felt great except my upper back today. the pain is getting worse.

    So I've been sick for a whole week(gastroenteritis) and basically I've lost track of everything. I did go to the gym for a few days but none of them were sheiko days I just did some form of squatting benching and deadlifting to keep myself loose.
    Since now I'm starting to eat and feeling a bit better(still sh*ttin over 3 times a day) I'm gonna get back on track tomorrow. I'm not sure how to get back on the program after taking more than a week off but I also don't want to start from the beginning. So I'm just gonna move on to Day 1 of Week 2 of #29 and we'll start from there.

    175x5
    195x5
    195x5

    Finished everything in 2.5 hours...it was so hard to focus. the weights were fine everything felt easy but the toughest part was to mentally get ready. I almost fell asleep during those 5 sets of benching. My upper back is starting to treat me well. The pain is still there, but i feel like it will go away soon.

I'm starting to feel the pain is coming from the right side of my erector spine which scares the sh*t out of me.

    This is my last training session in Hong Kong as I will be moving back to Toronto tomorrow. I absolutely gave my all today. My upper back was hurting like hell during the last sets of squats but i was like f*ck it this is my last day here lets show em what you're made of. having said that i will have to go to the doctor and get my back checked out cause im pretty sure its injured. its been more than a month but for some reason i just still havent got it checked.
    Technique in the squat needs to be improved as well i need to work on pushing my knees out more cause i noticed they're caving in a little bit. technique in the bench is getting more solid.
    hopefully i wont have to take too many days off from training cause i'll need some time settling down in markham.
    Bye Hong Kong!

    Week 3 Day 2

    It had been 4 days since I went to the gym. And man was it a trainwreck. Yea it could be jet lag, poor nutrition, not getting used to the new gym, back injury...man i could find a million reasons for f*cking up a training session. I didn't expect myself to be 100%, but I thought I could at least stick to the program and finish the prescribed sets and reps.

    Deficit Deadlift
    185x2x3
    225x2x3
    245x4x3
    hit all the reps and sets here, everything seemed okay...

    Bench
    135x5
    165x4
    195x2x3
    220x3x2
    205x2x3
    my top sets here got all messed up. after 220x3x2 i was supposed to do 235x2x2 then 220x2x3. after 195x2x3, i mistakenly loaded the bar with 225 and i barely ground out 1 rep. then i realized the weight was wrong and said to myself 'holy sh*t i couldnt even do 225 for reps im f*cked.' so i just skipped the top sets and went down to 205 and messed around with 2 sets.
    from here my head got all screwed up and i even skipped the dumbbell flys.

    Deadlift
    225x4
    265x3
    stopped right here because i couldnt do sh*t. i felt like sh*t and my back hurt like sh*t.

    Pullups
    3 sets of 10

    Dips
    3 sets of 15

    F*ck today today sucked. Its gonnna be better next time.

    wasn't paying attention to body tightness and technique at all. I think this is something that we're all guilty of when dealing with light weights. gotta stay tight whether its 100 pounds or 500 pounds.

    Upper back was feeling a lot better because of the low volume and weights but the pain was still there. The back raises absolutely killed my lower back. When I was done I literally couldn't stand straight for more than 10 seconds.

    another frustrating day. the deadlifts were very fast and my upper back felt less painful, but i just hate working with light weights and a bar with no knurling. couldnt even hold onto 300 pounds thats why i only did 4 reps. strength did get better but still a long way to go. one step at a time...
