Chris (3/27, 3/29) - Sheiko 37

Hey dudes. Sheiko 37 peak week (the most interesting part IMO...) is underway and I thought I'd update you all on what happened.

3/27: Squat Intensity
Trained at Edge gym in New York.

Squat:
45x5x1; 95x5x1; 160x5x1;
210x5x1; 250x4x1
290x3x2
330x3x2
355x2x1
360x2x1
365x2x1
Pretty easy. My shoes don't feel like they're gonna pitch me forward if my groove is off, which is a bonus.

Bench Press:
45x10x1; 85x5x1; 125x5x1; 150x4x1
180x3x2
205x3x3
210x3x2
My bench instantly became worse as soon as I set foot in New York it seems :x This was unusually hard for weights I am used to moving very fast.

Dumbbell Flyes: 25x10x5

Dip: 10x5

Squat:
210x5x1; 250x4x1;
290x3x2
335x2x4
Unbelted. Still pretty fast, surprisingly enough.

Face Pulls: 98x20x3

Curlz


3/29: Bench/Deadlift Intensity
Trained at South Brooklyn Weightlifting Club. It's a nice place! People in New York should definitely consider dropping by even if it is a bit of a trip.

Bench Press:
45x10x1; 85x5x1; 125x5x1; 150x4x1
180x3x2
205x3x2
215x2x1
220x2x1
230x2x1 (5lb PR)
My bench still felt terrible, so all of these were touch and go. 230 was the ugliest grinder I've done in a while, too. I probably jacked my back up a little, as I'm still sore while I type this up.
(original 85% weight: 206)

Deadlift:
135x5x1; 185x5x1; 245x4x2; 295x4x1
345x3x2
390x3x2
425x2x1
435x2x1
445x2x1
Last rep of heavy sets was done with hook grip in lieu of straps. 445x2 is pretty good, as I'm supposed to be fairly fatigued from previous weeks (and Tuesday).
(original 85% weight: 417)

Bench Press:
45x5x1; 135x5x1; 160x5x1
180x4x1
185x4x1
190x4x2

Pendlay Rows: 135x5x1; 155x5x1; 185x5x1; 195x5x2

Dumbbell Flyes: 20x10x5

GHR: +0x5x5

  1. curious what's your usual deadlift grip? Is it not mixed?

  2. Nice job. It's always a good feeling when you can rep your old maxes.

  3. Vincent: My best deadlifts were done using a mixed grip, but I switched to a hook grip around December because it put less strain on my elbow flexors (wtf). This gets difficult to deal with when the bars at the Z are all fairly thick (30mm?).
