12/2-

Low box squat-
5x5 @ 225

Squat- (whaaaaaat?)
225x1
275x1
315x1

cheater DL-
2x6 @ 225

Notes: the session was cut short as I wasn't allowed to stay past closing time at all this time. Last time I was there about 15 minutes past and they didn't say anything. Whatever, it isn't a big deal. I shouldn't have dicked around and went for a 315 squat, but oh well. It felt good to have even that much weight on my back again.

I'm now done with my box squat progression. I am backing down to 135 for sets of 10 and squatting without a box. I will jump back up even quicker now that I am not doing a depth progression, just weight and reps.

I really need to figure out why the left side of the bar keeps dipping down. I have tried a lot of different things the past couple of weeks and nothing makes a difference. I have done high bar, low bar, changed my grip width--even trying an uneven grip--just about anything and there isn't a difference, even when I make a conscious effort to do otherwise. I'm doing scapula mobility work just about every day because I know there is an issue there but it hasn't made a difference yet. C'est la mort.

I have the same issue and have yet to fix it. That causes a lot of elbow pain and basically causes the bar to open skin on my upper back (regardless of the bar I use, I have to clean blood off the squat bar at magni) and may be a contributor to pain in my left hip from not squatting symmetrically. What kinds of things are you doing for scapular mobility?

12/14-

Wide grip bench-
1x8 @ 250--harder than expected
2x8 @ 210
1x2 @ 210--kind of tweaked L elbow on the second rep

Notes: did some other stuff too, don't remember


12/18-

cheater-
5x3 @ 340

Slingshot bench-
3x5 @ 275

cheater rack pulls, 2" below knee-
2x2 @ 295
3x3 @ 340
4x2 @ 385

Barbell rows-
10x135
10x155
10x175

Wide stance leg press-
140x10
180x10
230x10

Hanging leg raises-
3x15 @ BW

Notes: also did sets of 5 pullups, various grips, supersetted with sets of 15 face pulls in between each bench warm-up set, and two sets of 50 bodyweight lying leg curls in between hanging leg raises sets.

I am starting Sheiko 30 for this volume block. I made this decision because I need to follow a pre-made program right now so I can focus on a few other things as well as programming for my clients. I will make a few minor modifications to fit it to my needs, but it will be 90% the exact program as it is written. The main modifications will be accessory movement selection. I will also be doing more high-rep squatting as this will keep me healthy; high reps on the squat also do a very good job of building my strength in the movement.

12/21-

Slingshot bench-
5x3 @ 260

Squat-
5x3 @ 320

Close grip flat feet bench-
4x3 @ 235

Squat-
5x3 @ 300

U/L close stance leg press- 3x8 @ 90
EZ bar curlz- 3x25 @ bar
High band crossover- 3x15 w/monster mini band

Face pulls- 4x15 w/light band, in between bench warm up sets
Neutral grip pull ups- 4x5 @ BW, in between bench warm up sets

Notes: Boris Sheiko looks at the saying, "what doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" and says, "why not both?"

Real talk, the first session of Sheiko #30 went very well. These sessions are certainly longer than my usual training, but I am training less often as a trade-off. The relative intensity is higher for my squat and deadlift, but lower/the same for my bench. I am using a slingshot for my bench work for these first few sessions because my elbow is getting a bit achy and I want to nip that in the bud before it becomes an issue. Training with no hand off person is my biggest issue right now, as it puts a lot of stress on that left elbow when I unrack. I will be fine so long as I am intelligent about it. I have, thankfully, avoided any real issues with my elbow for over a year, so I am very confident that it won't be a problem.

12/29-

Squat-
45x5
135x5
200x5
240x4, wrist wraps on
240x4
280x3, knee sleeves on
280x3
320x2, belt on
320x2
360x1
385x1
405x1, post-rehab PR, moved very well, probably around a true 90%

Bench press-
45x5
135x5
170x5
200x4
235x3, wrist wraps on
270x3
270x3
270x3
270x3
270x3

Safety bar squat-
55x5, counting bar as 55, I think it is 65
145x5
180x5
220x4
260x3
260x3
300x2
300x2
300x2
300x2

Circuit:

High band crossovers- 4x10 w/mini band
Dips- 4x10 @ BW, last two sets paused at the bottom
Safety bar lunges- 4x10 each leg w/empty bar
Pullups- 4x8 @ BW, alternating sets between neutral grip and medium pronated grip

Notes: Really solid day, especially for my squats. I was supposed to do three singles at 360, which is 90% of my 400lb training max, but I knew this wasn't close to a true 90%, even being cautious with my hamstring, so I worked up to a true 90%. In this case, I set 405 as my weight limit and I think it is pretty accurate, anyway. This does not mean I will be making a large jump to my training max, because this has obviously been working for me thus far, and a large jump means I will end up going to heavy and getting hurt again. A small jump in the training max will come soon, though.

12/31-

Deadlift to knees-
135x5
225x4
275x4
315x3
315x3
340x3, belt on, mixed grip
340x3
340x3
340x3

Deadlift-
225x5
275x4
315x3
315x3
365x3, belt on, mixed grip
365x3
315x3, lowered weight because technique was feeling off and left hip flexor wasn't the best
315x3
315x3

Bunch of hamstring stuff, bilateral and unilater

Notes: not the best session. My left hip flexor hurt a little bit after the first deadlift movement, and it affected my technique which left my hamstring not feeling the best. I dropped the weight to be safe and did the last set with straps to see if having a double overhand grip helped things. To no surprise, it did help a bit. Figuring out how to set up symmetrically is proving to be my biggest challenge with cheater deadlifting.

1/2-

Squat
45x5
135x5
210x5, wrist wraps on
250x5, knee sleeves on
295x3, belt on
295x5
295x7
295x6
295x4

Bench press-
45x5
135x5
185x5
220x4
250x3
250x3
250x3
250x3
250x3

Close stance unilateral leg press-
5x12 @ 90

Unilateral hamstring curl-
20x12
3x12 @ 30

Planks-
3x90 seconds

Fat gripz EZ bar tricep extensions-
4x10 @ 75

Barbell rows-
135x8
3x8 @ 185

Notes: also did 4x5 BW pullups and 4x15 face pulls in between bench warm up sets. This was a solid day. My squat feels better every session and I did some extra mobility work before starting today and it paid off very well. My left hip flexor is a bit touchy but it is feeling better. Bench sets felt good, especially after focusing on touching a bit lower on my chest. This seems to help my left elbow out a bit.

Notes: very solid day. Squatting went very well, although the safety bar work was challenging. My elbow is kind of bothering me but it is seeming to get better and certainly isn't getting any worse. No hip issues at all today and the bit of mobility work I did right before squatting made everything feel absolutely great.

1/6-

Deadlift-
135x5
225x4
275x4
315x3, mixed grip
315x3
365x3, belt on
365x3
365x3
380x2, this set sucked
380x2, conventional, omg so much better and less butt eating
380x2

Bench press-
45x5
135x5
170x5
200x4
235x3, wrist wraps on
5x2 @ 270

Block pulls-
225x5
295x5, belt on
340x5, straps on
340x5
380x4
380x4
380x4
380x4

Notes: I don't remember what I did for accessory stuff--I'm posting this a couple of days late. I probably did some high band crossovers, barbell rows, maybe some abs. I dunno. I am back to conventional, at least for now. My left hip has been bitching at me lately and my cheater technique has been worsening as a result. The conventional sets went great. Doing cheater for a while really taught me how to get my hips lower and try to keep a more neutral spine. I will still incorporate cheater during offseason time, I think.





1/8-

Bench press-
45x5
135x5
170x5
200x4
235x3, wrist wraps on
270x3
270x3
270x3
270x3, omfg these sets went incredibly well

Squat-
45x5
135x5
210x5, wrist wraps on
250x4, knee sleeves on
295x3, belt loosely on
295x3
335x3, belt a bit tighter
335x3
355x2, belt even tighter
355x2
355x2

Close grip bench press-
45x5
115x5
155x6
185x6
220x6, wrist wraps on
220x6
220x6
220x6

Barbell rows-
45x9
95x8
135x8
175x8, straps on
175x8
175x8
175x8

Notes: Holy shit, so apparently if you bench BEFORE you squat, your bench sets are fucking incredible and your elbow feels like it is orgasming. In a good way.

Conversely, if you don't squat first, your squat sets might suck a little bit. C'est la mort. I was scheduled to do 3x3 @ 335 after the 355 sets, but I was starting to suck at squatting and my left hip was kind of angry with me to begin with. This was a very good day overall.

Notes: very, very good session today. I spent a bit of extra time doing some upper body mobility work before beginning my bench warm-ups and it paid off. Ever since backing off the pressing accessory work (and most other compound stuff) and adding in more mobility work before everything, all my lifts have improved, particularly my bench. I feel like I'm finally starting to figure out how to manage this style of training, and I really think it will start paying off in a big way soon.

Right now I am 5 weeks out of my planned meet. I am entered in the USPA Western Warrior meet in Glendale, Arizona on February 20th. As it stands, I actually have drill that weekend; however, I am transferring out of my unit and I have been told that it is not likely that I will have to go to that drill. I have been told by the Arizona USPA state chair that if I can't compete, I can have the meet fee be credited to a future USPA meet.

Right now my plan is to continue with Sheiko for the remainder of the meet prep with Sheiko #32. This involves a bit of a mock meet test day in the first week of the program (so about 4 weeks out) then a bit of a taper the rest of the way. It is very different from what I have done in the past, but so is just about everything I have done as of late.

My primary goal is to simply compete. Part of this is out of my control, but I mainly mean being healthy enough to compete. If I can finish this training cycle with no major flare ups and be able to take 9 attempts in a meet without pain, I will consider it a resounding success regardless of the numbers.

After that, I do have some rough numbers in my head that I would like to go after, but I won't really know where I am at until after that test day. I would like to hit an unwrapped 450+ squat, a 350 bench, and a 500+ deadlift. Currently, I think those are all very doable, but we will see. If I keep having sessions like the one tonight, then those goals will be easy and I will smash right through them.

250x4
250x4, heels up

HS low row machine-
10 @ 70 each side

Hanging leg raises-
3x15 @ BW

Notes: also did a bit of cable curls and face pulls to finish off. This was a very good training day. Most of my bench sets were flat feet as I forgot my wrestling shoes, but I switched to heels up after a bit, then switched to close grip and added some longer pauses for some extra difficulty.

This was the last day of Sheiko #30. I really enjoyed this program and I will be running Sheiko #32 as my meet prep leading to the USPA Western Warrior meet in Glendale on February 20th.

Sheiko #32 kicks off with a test day, so I'm slightly modifying it to make the first week only two lifting days. This is due to traveling back to Iowa and that I will be getting more tattoo work done and I can't really lift for a short while after that is done anyway.

This was the first week of Sheiko #32, as I finished Sheiko #30 last week. The first week involves a skills test that is essentially a mock meet. I went 9/9 with a 1314lb gym total that had some pretty conservative attempts. I would estimate that I am capable of 475/350/550 right now. I am 4 weeks out of the USPA Western Warrior meet in Glendale, AZ.

Notes: no assistance work. This was my first session back since the skills test. I debated about training because my tattoo is still healing, but I decided it was good enough, and my belt didn't touch any of the work I had done, so it was good.

This was a really good training session overall. My right hip got a little tight during the first few sets of squats, but did not affect anything except my bench set up for the first few warm ups.

Notes: fun fact, other than the skills test day, 290 is the heaviest bench press I have done all cycle, and 405 is the heaviest deadlift I have done. 345 from earlier this week was the heaviest I have done all cycle as well. In fact, outside of maybe working up to an opener or second attempt 1 week out of the meet, they will be my heaviest lifts throughout the entire meet prep.

270x2

290x1
295x1

Barbell rows- 135x5, 3x8 @ 155
Cable face pulls- 2x25 @ 70, 2x25 @ 60
U/L hamstring curls- 2x10 @ 20, 2x10 @ 25

Notes: another good day. Bench went very well, particularly the singles. The first set of 270 went so well that I hadn't realized that I put the extra weight on, and thought I may have done another set at 240 on accident. Also, my weight was below 190 today for the first time in a while. I would like to cut from the 188-187 range, but even 190 is just fine. I'm just as lean now as I was at 185 last year.

I am starting to think of openers now, as well. Right now the plan is to aim for a squat in the high 400s to 500, a 350+ bench, and a deadlift in the low-mid 500s. The (very) rough plan is this:

Squat: 408-451-485
Bench press- 303-336-352
Deadlift- 501-523-545

These are all very rough and I am going to play it by ear at the meet--or at least more so than I usually do. I will have a session of working up to openers/close to second attempts a little over a week out of the meet, so I will have a better idea around that time as to what I am capable of. My bench is really the only lift that I feel like I know for sure where I am at.
