I'm stoked for growf too! Sheiko is going good so far. Other than my slight groin strain, ugh. The one thing I don't like about Sheiko is that it's 3 days a week. I like being in the gym 4-5 days a week. I understand that there is a lot of necessary recovery time though.

Anyone reading this that's done Sheiko ever add in extra accessory work?

Weight back to a more stable 156.2 this AM, but tomorrow night I'm going to have a few beers on top of my normal macros. I have a game on sunday that is unexpected HIIT training (Filling in for someone), so those beers shouldn't be a probelm come monday morning

Thanks man! I really appreciate the kind words! That song is great! Make sure you hit all your best poses when those bass hits happen in the first 30 seconds!

JP I added in a fourth day of 6 sets of back usually 3 sets of pull ups and 3 sets of DB rows supported. 5 sets of lateral raises. Biceps and calves.

DUDE! That's almost EXACTLY what I was thinking. I was thinking BB rows instead of DB, or maybe T-bar, but other than that your spot on. I'm going to start this immediately! Thanks for the advice!

Misc

With today being cinco de mayo and all, I usually go out and get after it with friends, etc etc. This year the wife and I are staying in and making Home made everything! Last night I made a black bean and pineapple salsa that has sat over night. Currently in the oven is home made tortilla chips. Next up is enchilladas, topped with some of the salsa I made! Dessert will be a mango walnut cake I will also be having 3-4 corona lights!

I'm cutting my macros back a little bit to 40/350/210 to make up for the beers "somewhat". Tonight is the first night I'm going to let loose a little bit and not worry so much. I have an out of the norm HIIT cardio session tomorrow anyway in the form of a soccer game, so I'll be fine!

Sheiko week 3 in the AM!

It's all about balance baby! It gets tougher the deeper into prep you go, but off season it's a piece of cake! So stay the course bud, you got this! Weight was up about a pound from yesterday, we'll see how tomorrow looks!

Holy eff! Them cupcakes look heavenly

They are!! This upcoming friday will start another round of cupcake epicness! I have an order to pick up! I got the wife some custom made pug and jack russell cupcakes for "mothers" day from our dogs! I'm so sly

every time i see one of these workouts i'm amazed at the volume involved... SOLID workout man, strength looks like it's coming up nicely. sounds like cinco de mayo was a blast! i myself celebrated something different, but with about a half of a cake... lol. i feel like hammered horse sh!t from it today too haha. how's your conditioning looking post show? you aren't up that much from stage weight, i bet you are still hella lean. do you plan to really eat into your powerlifting meet, or still keep it lean for a while? oh yeah and in4food!

[andyboi]

Wow, 1 hour 35 in the gym. that's a damn long time! I suppose you're not feeling the lethargy in your off season so why not!

Your reverse is going perfectly mate. Impressed.

Yeah man there's a ton of volume lol, but it's kinda fun in a crazy way! Hope you had a good graduation and celebration!

I'm not hella lean, and I'm not fat lol. Somewhere in the middle, very comfortable where I'm at. I'm not afraid of the fluff, I don't need year round abs, but I want to go slow, and do it right. Stomach is washed out, but everything else looks pretty solid/lean! As long as I'm under 165 for the meet then I'm cool with it! I'd like to stay out of the 160's for another 2 weeks or so, but we'll see!

Def. a long time, but fun! I love the mental battle, telling myself "only 8 more sets" when I get to the second round of squat haha. Zero lethargy here! Thanks for stopping by bud

Weight 157.2

Accessory Training:

BB Row - 135 x 6, 185 x 6, 195 x 6, 195 x 5
HS Iso Row- 2pps x 6, 6, 6
Pullups - BW +25 x 6, 6, 6
DB Curl - 35 x 7, 6, 6
Seated Side Laterals - 35 x 6, 6, 6

So I've decided to add an accessory day to go along with Sheiko. I will mainly be focusing on back and biceps on this day. Had a game last night and tweaked my ankle a little bit, we'll see how it responds tomorrow with deadlift. Forgot to add the food pron last night, so I'll do that shortly

[adamjohn32]

Nice that you're adding some pulling/bi's into the mix, deadlifts hit most of the back, but still misses a few things. I'd suggest trying out close grip chin-ups as a back movement. I know everyone is different, but I feel them the most out of any back movement (lats, mid-back, even upper back when squeezed at the top), only thing is I just discovered this a few months ago lol, wish I would have had an entire "offseason" to really work on them.

Also, 1 hour 35 min for a sheiko workout is a pretty good time. I remember a few of the workouts would take 2+ hours. Keep it up JP.

My Sheiko times are a little quicker than normal because I superset all the accessory work. I simply couldn't run sheiko if I didn't do that, work schedule wouldn't allow it. I'm in the works of putting together a home gym though, so that could change shortly. I need to invest in one of those weight vests you got. Seems like awesome cardio! How much was it? Link?

I got one at sports authority, it was about $100. Not that cheap but I figured it would be a good investment, and after yesterday I believe it was.
